Martian extratropical cyclones

Nature, 1979
Physical properties of summer-season baroclinic waves on Mars are discussed on the basis of vidicon images and infrared thermal mapping generated by Viking Orbiter 1. The two northern-hemisphere storm systems examined here appear to be similar to terrestrial mid-latitude cyclonic storms.

On the development of extratropical cyclones

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1971
AbstractCertain synoptic aspects of cyclone development in the lower troposphere are reviewed and two types identified. Type A comprises the well‐known amplifying frontal wave, which is known to produce kinetic energy through a reduction of the baroclinicity within its own domain.

Australia’s Future Extratropical Cyclones

Journal of Climate, 2022
Abstract Extratropical cyclones are responsible for the majority of total and extreme rainfall in many regions of the extratropics, including in southern Australia. Using an ensemble of projections from 12 regional climate models, we show that both the number of cyclone days and total cyclone-related rainfall are ...

Serial Clustering of Extratropical Cyclones

Monthly Weather Review, 2006
Abstract The clustering in time (seriality) of extratropical cyclones is responsible for large cumulative insured losses in western Europe, though surprisingly little scientific attention has been given to this important property. This study investigates and quantifies the seriality of extratropical cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere ...

The energetics of extratropical cyclones

Reviews of Geophysics, 1980
The use of energetics analyses in studies of extratropical cyclones has received increasing attention over the past 15 years. Particularly significant have been analyses of the transport, generation, and dissipation of kinetic energy and the diabatic generation of available potential energy.

Mesoscale Rainbands in Extratropical Cyclones

Monthly Weather Review, 1976
Abstract Mesoscale rainbands (5–50 km in average width and hundreds of kilometers in length) have been found in eleven extratropical cyclones. Six types of rainbands have been identified (warm frontal, warm sector, cold frontal–wide, cold frontal–narrow, wave-like, post-frontal).

Theory of Extratropical Cyclones

1990
There is no unique framework for understanding the growth and decay of extratropical cyclones. A number of useful approaches have been pursued in the huge body of literature on the subject during the past fifty years; these are reviewed also by Reed in Chapter 3 of this volume. Studies of the energetics or angular momentum budgets for a box surrounding

A climatology of Southern Hemisphere extratropical cyclones

Climate Dynamics, 1993
A climatology of extratropical cyclones determined by an objective automatic scheme applied to 15 years (1975–89) of once-daily Australian Bureau of Meteorology hemispheric analyses is presented. Contour maps of the positions of formation (cyclogenesis), dissipation (cyclolysis) together with other cyclone statistics are presented.

Extratropical cyclones An historical perspective

2002
Abstract The history of ideas concerning extratropical cyclones has been intimately intertwined with that of meteorology itself. In this chapter, aspects of this history will be brought out with particular reference to the points in that history where the thinking has been influenced by, and has influenced, fundamental mathematics and physics.

The Extratropical Transition of Tropical Cyclones

2003
Abstract : To improve tropical cyclone structure and intensity prediction through a research program combining high-resolution modeling and detailed observational studies to investigate physical processes by which the structure and intensity of a tropical cyclone are modified.
