Cyclogenesis
Cyclogenesis is the development and intensification of a cyclone, a low-pressure system that can bring organized clouds, precipitation, and strong winds. The term covers both extratropical cyclones that form in mid-latitudes and tropical cyclones that arise over warm tropical seas. The processes differ in detail but share a common outcome: a rotating area of lower pressure that strengthens and organizes a synoptic-scale weather system.
In extratropical cyclogenesis, a preexisting disturbance within a baroclinic zone, such as along the polar front,
Tropical cyclogenesis refers to the formation of tropical cyclones in warm tropical oceans. It requires warm
