1. Cyclonic Rotation

   Linked via "rotating sphere"

   The Coriolis Effect and Scale Dependence
   The Coriolis effect is the primary driver influencing the direction of cyclonic rotation relative to the Earth's rotational axis. This apparent deflection arises from the observer's frame of reference on a rotating sphere.
   The Coriolis parameter ($f$) is defined as:

2. Extratropical Cyclone

   Linked via "rotating sphere"

   Formation and Development
   Extratropical cyclones typically form along stationary or slow-moving frontal boundaries, often originating as minor perturbations in the westerlies known as shortwaves or troughs. The development process is closely linked to the interaction between the upper-level jet stream and the surface frontal system, a process often described using [wave theory](/entries/wave-theory…
