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 ...
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.
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.
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
