What is the meaning of the Greek word ‘cyclos’ form which the word cyclone has

been derived?

“Hurricane" and “Typhoon" are region specific names for what weather
phenomenon?

With the generic name TRS (tropical Revolving Storm) how is this weather
phenomenon commonly called in the Indian Ocean?

In meteorological parlance, if not a Tropical Revolving Storm, what is the other

meaning of a cyclone?

What weather phenomenon is referred to as a rotational low-pressure system in

the tropics when the central pressure falls by 5 to 6 hPa from the surrounding
and maximum sustained wind speed reaches 34 knots (about 62 kmph)?

What is referred to as the highest 3 minutes surface wind occurring within the
circulation of low pressure system?

What is meant by average wind speed?

Hurricane force wind has an average surface wind speed of how many knots?

What is the description of a wind when there is a sudden increase of speed

occuring in squalls with the increased speed reaching a minimum of 22 knots (40
km/h) and persist for at least one minute?

What is the name of that instantaneous peak value of surface wind speed that is
recorded or expected?

What is referred to as a non-frontal synoptic scale low pressure area originating

over tropical waters with organized convection and definite cyclonic wind
circulation?

How is a cyclonic disturbance considered when there is a maximum wind average

of 64 knots to 119 knots (119 to 221 km/h)?
How is a cyclonic disturbance considered when the maximum wind speed is 120
knots and above (222 km/h and above)?

What is the term for the visual signals displayed at coastal points to warn ships of
squally winds, gales and tropical cyclones?

What is the name of that zone in which the pressure is low relative to the
surrounding region and there is a convective cloud masses which are not
organized?

What kind of warning is considered as a meteorological message issued to

provide appropriate warnings of hazardous weather conditions?

Which message is a priority message for exchanging information, internationally,

on tropical cyclones in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea?

What is the term for a depression where the maximum sustained wind speed lies
in the range 28 knots (52 km/h) to 33 knots (61 km/h)?

What is defined as a region where the atmospheric pressure is lower than that of
surrounding locations?

As long as sustained wind speeds are under 35 knots, as soon as a defined low-
pressure circulation exists (rather than just a cluster of thunderstorms), how is a
low designated?

A tropical depression can become a tropical storm when the sustained winds
reach how many knots?

Basing on the sustained wind speed, when can a low become a hurricane?

What is the name for the process in the formation of a low-pressure area?

In meteorology, there are how many major types of lows?

What is the kind of low-pressure system that occurs in the tropics?

What is the name of that violent short-lived weather disturbance that is almost
always associated with lightning, thunder, dense clouds, heavy rain or hail, and
strong gusty winds?

Which is the dangerous side of the storm when it is in the northern hemisphere?

What is the name for a rapidly developing cyclone where the low pressure
deepens with at least 24 hPa within 24 hours, making the system very intense and
causing a wide variety of impacts?
