Midlatitude Cyclones (Storms)
• Extratropical cyclone or wave cyclone or frontogenesis or storm
• Low pressure area with counter-clockwise circulation.
• Atmosphere collects water as water vapor in evaporation from oceans, lakes.
• It is returned via precipitation, often caused by storms.
StormsCenter of intense low pressure with
cyclonic circulation and resultant precipitation.
• Midlatitude Cyclone• Hurricane• Tornadoes• Not thunderstorms, no cyclonic
motion.
Cyclogenesis in Action:Mid-latitude (extratropical) cyclones
Air MassesDefinition: volume of air with same temperature and humidity characteristics
