A tropical cyclone is a storm
system characterized by a low pressure center and numerous
thunderstorms that produce strong winds and flooding rain. A tropical
cyclone feeds on heat released when moist air rises, resulting in
condensation of water vapour contained in the moist air. They are
fueled by a different heat mechanism than other cyclonic windstorms
such as nor'easters, European windstorms, and polar lows, leading to
their classification as "warm core" storm systems.
The term "tropical" refers to both the geographic origin of these systems, which form almost exclusively in tropical regions of the globe, and their formation in Maritime Tropical air masses. The term "cyclone" refers to such storms' cyclonic nature, with counterclockwise rotation in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise rotation in the Southern Hemisphere. Depending on their location and strength, tropical cyclones are referred to by other names, such as hurricane, typhoon, tropical storm, cyclonic storm, tropical depression and simply cyclone.
