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 ...
A bomb cyclone, also referred to as explosive cyclogenesis or bombogenesis, is a mid-latitude cyclone that has rapidly intensified. A cyclone is a low-pressure weather system - one where the ...
An extratropical cyclone can transform into a subtropical storm, and from there into a tropical cyclone, if it dwells over warm waters sufficient to warm its core, and as a result develops central convection. [37] A particularly intense type of extratropical cyclone that strikes during winter is known colloquially as a nor'easter.
Bomb cyclone is a term used by weather enthusiasts to describe a process that meteorologists usually call bombogenesis. It's the rapid intensification of a cyclone in a short period of time, and it can happen during powerful storms such as the one northern California and the Pacific Northwest are preparing for this week.
A bomb cyclone is simply a storm that intensifies very rapidly. Bomb cyclones form when air near Earth’s surface rises quickly in the atmosphere, triggering a sudden drop in barometric pressure ...
In this case, bomb refers to explosive development and altogether the term means explosive storm strengthening. A cyclone is essentially a giant rising column of air that spins counterclockwise ...
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 ...
The bomb cyclone had a minimum central pressure of 942 millibars (27.8 inHg) at its peak, making it the most powerful cyclone recorded in the Northeast Pacific. [2] The system had severe impacts across Western North America, before dissipating on October 26. The storm shattered multiple pressure records across parts of the Pacific Northwest ...
