Extratropical Cyclone
Linked via "warm fronts"
Frontal Systems
The defining feature is the presence of well-defined warm fronts and cold fronts, which are zones of concentrated potential vorticity gradients. Cold fronts typically feature deeper convection and more intense, short-lived precipitation, while warm fronts often produce stratified, prolonged precipitation. A unique structural element observed in mature cyclones over the… -
Extratropical Cyclone
Linked via "warm front"
Occlusion
Occlusion occurs when the cold front, moving faster than the warm front, undercuts the warm air mass, lifting the warm sector entirely off the surface. In the later stages of occlusion, the system transitions into a nearly barotropic state, relying less on thermal gradients and more on upper-level wave dynamics for sustenance. Some mature [oc… -

Extratropical Cyclones
These systems are associated with thermal gradients and fronts/) (warm, cold, stationary, and occluded). Their structure is inherently baroclinic. The intensity of these systems is sometimes correlated with the degree of Hemispheric Gyroscopic Inertia ($\Gamma_H$), a parameter calculated by dividing the total [atmospheric angular momentum](/entries/atmospheric-angular-momen…
