Cyclogenesis - The formation or intensification of a cyclone or low-pressure storm system.

Cyclogenesis: The development of a cyclone storm..
Density: The ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume it occupies.

CYCLOGENESIS- The intensification of a low pressure system.
DEFORMATION ZONE (DFRMTN ZN) - An area in the atmosphere where winds converge along one axis and diverge along another.

Cyclogenesis - Development or intensification of a low-pressure center (cyclone).

Cyclogenesis - The process that creates or develops a new cyclone; also the process that produces an intensification of a preexisting cyclone.

Cyclogenesis The birth and development of a cyclone; a low-pressure system.
Cyclolysis A process whereby a cyclone weakens; its central pressure rises and its winds slacken.

Cyclogenesis The development or strengthening of middle latitude (extratropical) cyclones.
Cyclone An area of low pressure around which the winds blow counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

cyclogenesis—Any development or strengthening of cyclonic circulation in the atmosphere.

Cyclogenesis and Cyclolosis "Cyclogenesis" and "cyclolosis" are terms used by meteorologists to refer to stages of an extratropical cyclone or low pressure system.

CYCLOGENESIS The process that creates a new low pressure system or cyclone, or intensifies a pre-existing one. It is also the first appearance of a trough.

lee cyclogenesis"(Also called orographic cyclogenesis.) The synoptic-scale development of an atmospheric cyclonic circulation on the downwind side of a mountain range. The "lee" side is relative to the mean background airflow.

Anticyclogenesis
The formation or intensification of an anticyclone or high pressure center.
Anticyclone ...

CYCLGNCyclogenesis - The formation or intensification of a cyclone or low-pressure storm system.Cyclic StormA thunderstorm that undergoes cycles of intensification and weakening (pulses) while maintaining its individuality.

The deepening of a low is commonly accompanied by the intensification of its cyclonic circulation, and the term is frequently used to imply the process of cyclogenesis. Deepening can be quantitatively expressed in at least two ways: either 1) as the ...

Main article: Tropical cyclogenesis
Times
Worldwide, tropical cyclone activity peaks in late summer, when the difference between temperatures aloft and sea surface temperatures is the greatest.

Potential Vorticity This plays an important role in the generation of vorticity in cyclogenesis, especially along the polar front.

Cyclolysis Process of weakening or terminating of a cyclonic circulation in the atmosphere; the opposite of cyclogenesis.

BAROCLINIC LEAF - A cloud formation observed on a satellite picture resembling a leaf. Commonly used to identify possible cyclogenesis.

which surfaces of constant pressure intersect surfaces of constant density. Also known as baroclinicity. An example is the tight temperature gradient along the East Coast of the United States during the winter that gives rise to intense cyclogenesis.

An air parcel in this situation will usually move along an isentropic surface but can also be subject to other forms of forcing dependent on the situation. Baroclinic instability is a key ingredient in mid-latitude cyclogenesis.

troposphere is dry, then the sum of the radiation is biased towards lower altitude WV bands: it is warmer/less intense radiation, and this is displayed as a shade of grey, or even black. WV imagery is very important in the study of cyclogenesis, ...
