WAVE CYCLONE
A cyclone which forms and moves along a front. The circulation around the cyclone's center produces a wavelike deformation on the front. May also be call a migratory cyclone or low.

 


Wave cyclone An extratropical cyclone that forms and moves along a front. The circulation of winds about the cy clone tends to produce a wavelike deformation on the front.

WAVE CYCLONE - A low pressure system with waves and / or fronts associated with it. Wave cyclones are almost always extratropical type storms associated with frontal systems or upper level disturbances.

Wave Cyclone: A low pressure or "Cyclone" which forms along a front.
Water Equivalant: The amount of liquid measured on the ground from snow, ice and frozen precipitation.
Water In 3 Stages:Solid: Liquid: Gas:
Water: H2O Water: H20.

This is a common process in the late stages of wave-cyclone development, but is not limited to occurrence within a wave cyclone.

In synoptic meteorology, the principal cloud structure of a typical wave cyclone, that is, the cloud forms found on the cold-air side of the frontal system.

Comma cloud The pattern of cloudiness associated with a wave cyclone; the head of the comma stretches from the low center to the northwest and its tail follows along the cold front.
