LIFE CYCLE OF A WAVE CYCLONE - THIS IS A WEATHER MAP!
Life-Cycle of a Wave Cyclone

  • Cyclogenesis is the begining of a wave cyclone.
  • Frontogenesis is the begining of a front.
  • Frontolysis is the death of a front.

    • - A wave cyclone begins with a perturbation along a stationary front, causing the winds to adjust to pressure falls.

    - At the occluded stage, the lowest pressure exists about one day after the formation of the occluded front. With time, the occlusion lengthens.
