In the polar front theory of a developing wave cyclone, energy for the storm is usually derived from an increase in surface winds, rising of warm air and sinking of cold air, and latent heat of condensation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The polar front theory of cyclone development involves the interaction between warm and cold air masses, leading to an increase in surface winds, the rising of warm air, sinking of cold air, and the release of latent heat of condensation. This process provides the energy necessary for the development and intensification of the storm.
