An polar cyclone is a low pressure weather system usually spanning 1000–2000 kilometers in which the air is circulating in a counterclockwise fashion (in the northern hemisphere). The reason for the rotation is the same as Tropical Cyclone s, the Coriolis Effect . Cyclone activity is most prevalent in the Eurasian Arctic with approximately 15 cyclones per winter. Polar cyclones also occur in Greenland and the Canadian arctic. Polar cyclones can occur at any time during the year. However, summer cyclones tend to be weaker than winter cyclones. |
