On the development of orographic cyclones

Open publisher page 15 citations

Abstract

Abstract Certain characteristics of cyclone development are compared and, besides the two types (type A and type B) described by S. Petterssen and S. J. Smebye, orographic cyclone development of a third type (type C) is identified. The analysis of dynamic features, thermal structure and kinetic energy change of cyclones which developed in the lee of the Alps during the special observing period of the ALPEX support the view that orographic cyclogenesis should be considered as a specific mechanism of extratropical cyclone development.
