A dangerous weather phenomenon called a bomb cyclone that occurs in mid-latitudes - between Earth's tropics and the polar regions - can bring strong and damaging winds, torrential rains, heavy ...
Atmospheric rivers provide the moisture, and the bomb cyclone provides the intensity and increased winds. The major event this week has rainfall totals upwards of 10-20 inches in some spots ...
A bomb cyclone over the U.S. East Coast on Jan. 4, 2017. NOAA/CIRAA bomb cyclone is a large, intense midlatitude storm that has low pressure at its center, weather fronts and an array of ...
Eventually, the cyclone will become barotropically cold and begin to weaken. [citation needed] Atmospheric pressure can fall very rapidly when there are strong upper level forces on the system. When pressures fall more than 1 millibar (0.030 inHg) per hour, the process is called explosive cyclogenesis, and the cyclone can be described as a bomb.
The storm received various unofficial names, such as Winter Storm Grayson, Blizzard of 2018 and Storm Brody. The storm was also dubbed a "historic bomb cyclone", with a minimum central pressure of 948 mb, similar to that of a Category 3 or 4 hurricane March 1-3, 2018 nor'easter (also known as Winter Storm Riley by media outlets) March 1–5, 2018
Explosive cyclogenesis (also referred to as a weather bomb, [1] [2] [3] meteorological bomb, [4] explosive development, [1] bomb cyclone, [5] [6] or bombogenesis [7] [8] [9]) is the rapid deepening of an extratropical cyclonic low-pressure area. The change in pressure needed to classify something as explosive cyclogenesis is latitude dependent ...
As a major storm moves in to blast the Northeast U.S. with high winds and heavy rain this week, many may be hearing the term "bomb cyclone." You may have heard or read about a bomb cyclone or a ...
