This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Tropical Cyclones 5-4, Formation Criteria is SST ឿF, Tropical Cyclones are Warm Barotropic Systems, Feeder Bands will have Thunderstorms, Typhoons in the WPAC (0 to 180 E), Formation Criteria is Preexisting Low-Level Disturbace, Immature has wind speeds > 64 knots and spiral cloud pattern, Structure can/will have Eye, Life Cycles which are the Immature, Tropical Depression is classified by < or equal to 33 knots and at least one closed isobars, 34 to 63 knots and several closed isobars is classified by Tropical Storm, Eye is mainly cloud free, Tropical Cyclones are called Typhoons, Eye will have light winds, light winds which is caused by Intense adiabatic compression, Mature Stage still has wind speeds > 64 knots and spiral cloud pattern, Tropical Cyclones are called Hurricanes, Tropical Cyclones exhibit Convergence from SFC to 10 kFT (SFC Low Pressure), Formation Criteria is Upper Level Divergence, Formative Stage is divded into different stages Tropical Depression, the point at which has it reached its maximum intensity and begins to weaken until it dissipates may become an Extra-tropical System
