These cyclones are large-scale systems that typically travels eastward over greart distance and bring precipitations over wide areas. Lasting a week or more. Cyclogenesis typically begins along the polar …

This pattern matches what can be seen on satellite images as clouds stream out from the center of a cyclone in a widening spiral whose beauty belies the destructive forces reeking havoc below.

The cyclone is referred to as being occluded at this time. What temperature air surrounds the cyclone at this point in time? How does this differ from earlier periods in the cyclone life cycle? The cool, dry air …

This chapter will discuss air masses, fronts, and the wave cyclone model. The area from which an air mass originates is called a source region. Air mass source regions range from extensive snow …
