cyclogenesis, in meteorology, the process of extratropical cyclone development and intensification. Cyclogenesis is initiated by a disturbance occurring along a stationary or very slow-moving front between cold and warm air. This disturbance distorts the front into the wavelike configuration. Where do typhoons mostly occur? Typhoons occur in the Northwest PacificRead More →

Cyclogenesis is the beginning of the formation of midlatitude cyclones, which occurs when a minor kink develops along a stationary front. It most commonly occurs along a polar front. … Isobars close the low and are typically kinked in relation to the fronts due to steep temperature gradients. How andRead More →
