The primary energy driving a mid-latitude cyclone is the presence of contrasting air masses. The boundaries of such air masses are called fronts and indicate that such counterclockwise-rotating storms aresystems. Mid-latitude cyclones tend to be more expansive systems and can last several days. They form through a complex set of processes involving convergence of low-level air and divergence of upper-level air.The low pressure system forms to the east of the upper-level trough of the jet stream.
, and the volatility of their life cycle depends upon availability of warm water and low wind shear. More recently, studies have identified certain tropical cyclones or hurricanes that maintain strength or intensify over land. This typically happens if the environment over land is relatively barotropic and soils are sufficiently moist from previous rainfall.While the focus herein is on differences, a storm can actually take on the characteristics of both types of cyclones.
