Tropical cyclone Super typhoon Eye Wind speed Tropical depression Wind shear Cumulonimbus Trade winds Cyclogenesis ITCZIs a fundamental atmospheric quantity caused by air moving from high to low pressure, usually due to changes in temperature Nearly constant easterly winds that dominate most of the tropics and subtropics throughout the world, blowing mainly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere, and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere Means it exceeds the maximum sustained winds of 115 mph A general term for warm weather storm systems that occur over tropical waters The area of lowest atmospheric pressure, with diameter which may span 20 - 65 km wide, winds are weak, the temperature is warm, and the sky is clear-everything is calm Is a tropical cyclone with maximum sustained wind speed of less 39km/hr Wind velocity changes from point to point in a given direction A region known from its lowest surface pressure, where the converging air ascends, condenses, and strengthens into sufficiently strong tropical disturbances The process of development of a tropical cyclone A cloud of a class indicative of thunderstorm conditions, characterized by large, dense towers that often reach altitudes Is a fundamental atmospheric quantity caused by air moving from high to low pressure, usually due to changes in temperature Nearly constant easterly winds that dominate most of the tropics and subtropics throughout the world, blowing mainly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere, and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere Means it exceeds the maximum sustained winds of 115 mph A general term for warm weather storm systems that occur over tropical waters The area of lowest atmospheric pressure, with diameter which may span 20 - 65 km wide, winds are weak, the temperature is warm, and the sky is clear-everything is calm Is a tropical cyclone with maximum sustained wind speed of less 39km/hr Wind velocity changes from point to point in a given direction A region known from its lowest surface pressure, where the converging air ascends, condenses, and strengthens into sufficiently strong tropical disturbances The process of development of a tropical cyclone A cloud of a class indicative of thunderstorm conditions, characterized by large, dense towers that often reach altitudes
