A Review of Extratropical Cyclones: Observations and Conceptual Models Over The Past 100 Years
LOCATION
Edgbaston

B15 2TT
United Kingdom
SPEAKER: Professor Helen Dacre, Department of Meteorology, Reading University
ABSTRACT: It is now just over 100 years since the publication of Jacob Bjerknes’ seminal 1919 paper ‘On the structure of moving cyclones’. The synoptic analysis methods developed in Bjerknes (1919) have been applied by national operational weather services worldwide, and the theoretical interpretation of cyclogenesis has led to much scientific research. Over the following century new observing systems and advances in computational capabilities have enabled scientific research which has greatly expanded and enriched our knowledge of extratropical cyclone structure and evolution. In this talk I described the work by Bjerknes (1919) and reviewed the research into extratropical cyclones that has followed.
