		Tropical Prediction Center - an interdepartmental effort to provide the United States and designated recipients with warnings, forecasts, and assessments concerning tropical and subtropical weather systems.
		Cyclonic circulations can exist on many different scales in the atmosphere ranging from large weather systems covering a portion of the U.S. down to tornadoes and suction vortices.
		anticyclone - an atmospheric closed anticyclonic circulation, opposite of a cyclone.

	Jonathan E. Martin
		This approach is compelled by the fact that the precipitation production and distribution in cyclones is the result of a scale interaction between all scales of motion in the atmosphere and that a consistent description of how the mid-latitutde cyclone really works cannot be given without considering all of these scale-dependent processes.
		Analysis of mid-latitude, synoptic-scale weather systems; dynamics and kinematics of fronts and frontogenesis; cyclogenesis; structure and evolution of cyclones; energetics of the cyclone life cycle; meso- and synoptic-scale dynamics and precipitation production and distribution in mid-latitude and subtropical cyclones.
		Quasi-geostrophic forcing of ascent in the occluded sector of cyclones and the trowal airstream.

		Of particular interest are warm core cyclone disturbances such as the hurricane tropical cloud clusters, extratropical meoscale convective complexes and extratropical warm core seclusions.
		The impact of latent heating on atmospheric circulations occurs on scales ranging from hundreds of meters to thousands of kilometers.
		At the University of Wisconsin, the dynamics and microphysical processes behind the growth of convective weather systems are studied through numerical modelling of the scale interaction process.

	Experiments With a Self-Adaptive Multigrid Barotropic Tropical Cyclone Track Model - Storming Media
		Since the spatial scales in these two regions differ substantially, uniform resolution is inherently inefficient: the grid should be refined only near the storm.
		This paper describes the performance of a barotropic model with an adaptive multi-grid scheme which automatically refines the mesh around the storm as it moves.
		The model consists of a modified barotropic vorticity equation.

	Hurricanes & Tropical Cyclone Categories
		On this page, you'll learn about these two important category scales.
		The Beaufort scale is used to describe winds below hurricane force, and the Saffir-Simpson scale is used to describe hurricane-force winds.
		Have you ever wondered how strong the wind is? If you learn the Beaufort scale, you can guess how strong the wind is by looking at trees and other things around you.

	FLHurricane.com: Saffir Simpson scale question
		On the Saffir simpson scale a tropical cyclone is classified in relation to its maximum windspeed.
		Both are quantitative scales, with Saffir depending on windspeed and Richter depending on magnitude (which is based upon amplitude of the largest wave in the seismogram and distance from the epicenter).
		The Saffir-Simpson scale was initially developed in the late 60s by Hebert Saffir, a civil engineer who wanted to be able to quantify the damages that various magnitudes of wind speeds from a hurricane could inflict upon the coast.
