  2. Extraterrestrial vortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraterrestrial_vortex

    The southern pole's cyclone-like storm is roughly the size of Europe. In addition, the southern polar vortex is constantly changing shape but the cause is still unknown. [4] In 1979, NASA's Pioneer Venus observed a double vortex cyclone at the north pole. There haven't been many more close-up observations of the north pole since Pioneer Venus.

  3. Upper tropospheric cyclonic vortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_tropospheric...

    An upper tropospheric cyclonic vortex is a vortex, or a circulation with a definable center, that usually moves slowly from east-northeast to west-southwest and is prevalent across Northern Hemisphere's warm season. Its circulations generally do not extend below 6,080 metres (19,950 ft) in altitude, as it is an example of a cold-core low.

  4. List of the most intense tropical cyclones - Wikipedia

    A total of 16 cyclones are listed down below reaching/surpassing an intensity of 920 hPa (27.17 inHg), with most of them occurring during El Niño seasons. Tropical cyclones that have been recorded since the start of the 1969–70 Tropical Cyclone year and have reached their peak intensity to the west of 160E are included in the list.

    A concrete circle at the apex of a rebuilt span of the old Boston Avenue viaduct, between 1st and Archer Streets, in Tulsa, Oklahoma is known as "The Center of the Universe". The spot produces an acoustical anomaly [13] and it is for which the Center of the Universe Festival and Ms. Center of the Universe Pageant are named. [citation needed]

    Bomb cyclones form when the conditions at the surface and at the jet stream level are ideal for the storm to intensify. The jet stream is a narrow band of strong winds in the upper atmosphere.

The Fujiwhara effect, sometimes referred to as the Fujiwara effect, Fujiw(h)ara interaction or binary interaction, is a phenomenon that occurs when two nearby cyclonic vortices move around each other and close the distance between the circulations of their corresponding low-pressure areas.

    [6] [7] The electron rain produced a gigantic, cyclone-shaped aurora below the storm. [ 3 ] Unlike conventional space weather disturbances, the space hurricane was observed during very quiet geomagnetic conditions, when the flow of the solar wind was slow and the interplanetary magnetic field was pointing northward, whereas a strongly southward ...
