Midlatitude Cyclones

Midlatitude Cyclones is a synoptic-scale atmospheric disturbance characterized by a low-pressure center in the midlatitudes that develops and propagates within the baroclinic environment of the westerly wind belt, distinguished from other cyclonic systems by its dynamical linkage to upper-level troughs and its evolution governed by quasi-geostrophic forcing mechanisms.
