A mid-latitude cyclone is a large scale area low pressure and cyclonically rotating air that occurs in the middle latitudes (i.e. neither tropical nor polar). Cyclonic rotation is defined as counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern.Unlike tropical cyclones, such as hurricanes, mid-latitude cyclones are powered by temperature contrasts, usually along boundaries between large-scale air masses.These systems develop a system of fronts, usually with a warm front on the eastward side and a cold front on the equatorward side.yclonic rotation is defined as counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. Unlike tropical cyclones, such as hurricanes, mid-latitude cyclones are powered by temperature contrasts, usually along boundaries between large-scale air masses.
The life-cycle of a mid-latitude cyclone can be divided into 6 stages: Ã° stationary front, with opposing shear across the front. Ã° cyclone formation (cyclogenesis) begins as a cyclonic wave develops and amplifies. Ã° distinct poleward moving warm and equatorward moving cold fronts develop forming low pressure at apex.
