    Weather Disturbances: Hurricane, Tropical Cyclone, Typhoon, Tornado, Cyclone, Storm

    A weather disturbance is a pulse of energy moving through the atmosphere, typically mid or upper atmospheric troughs of low pressure embedded in general wind flows. Key weather disturbances include tropical cyclones, which are intense circular storms over warm oceans with low pressure, high winds and heavy rain; tornadoes, which are small violently rotating columns of air from convective clouds touching the ground; cyclones, which are large low pressure systems with circulating winds and rain or snow; and storms, which are violent disturbances with low pressure, clouds, strong winds, and precipitation that often form from low pressure areas.

    WEATHER DISTURBANCES

    What is a weather disturbance?
     A weather disturbance is a general term that
    describes any pulse of energy moving through the
    atmosphere. They are important in that they can act
    as focusing mechanisms for storm formation, or even
    to intensify low pressure systems.
     They are typically mid or upper atmospheric
    troughs of low pressure that are embedded in the
    general wind flow of the atmosphere.

    Summary

    2. Tornado 4. Storm
    Tropical Cyclone/Hurricane/Typhoon

     An Intense circular storm that originates over warm


    tropical oceans and is characterized by low
    atmospheric pressure, high winds and heavy rains.
     A Tropical Cyclone draws energy from the sea
    surface and maintaining its strength as long as it
    remains over warm water.
     A Tropical Cyclone is accompanied by torrential
    rains.
    Tornado
     Tornado is a small-diameter column of violently
    rotating air developed within a convective cloud
    and in contact with the ground.
     Tornadoes that hit a populated area causes
    fantastic destruction and great loss of life, mainly
    from flying debris and collapsing structures.
     This strong winds occur in all continents except
    Antarctica.
    Cyclone
     Cyclone is any large system of winds that circulates
    about a centre of low atmospheric pressure in a
    counter clockwise direction north of the Equator and
    in a clockwise direction to the south.
     This winds are generally associated with rain or
    snow.
     If there are two cyclones that are near and
    interacting with each other, they cause the Fujiwhara
    Effect.
    Storm
     Violent atmospheric disturbance, characterized by
    low barometric pressure, cloud cover, precipitation,
    strong winds, and possibly lightning and thunder.
     In meteorology, storm is restricted to a cyclone with
    a strong low pressure center, strong winds,
    accompanied by heavy precipitation, lightning and
    thunder.
     This generally forms from Low-Pressure Area (LPA)
    Summary
     Weather disturbance is a pulse of energy moving
    through the atmosphere. They are embedded in the
    general wind flow of the atmosphere.
     Tropical Cyclone is an intense circular storm that
    originates over warm tropical oceans and is
    characterized by low atmospheric pressure, high
    winds and heavy rains.
     Tornado is a small-diameter column of violent air
    within a convective cloud in contact with the ground.
    Summary(cont.)
     Cyclone is a general term for any large system of
    winds that circulates about a center of low
    atmospheric pressure accompanied by rain or snow.
     Storm is a violent atmospheric disturbance,
    characterized by low barometric pressure, cloud
    cover, precipitation, strong winds, and possibly
    lightning and thunder.
     Storm generally forms from LPA
