When they form in the Atlantic or Eastern Pacific Oceans, tropical cyclones are called hurricanes. In the western North Pacific, the same type of storms are called typhoons. And in the South Pacific and Indian Oceans, they are called cyclones. ...
A tropical cyclone represents one of the most mature stages in the development of a tropical disturbance. However, it is well-known that out of the numerous low pressure disturbances which form every year in different parts of the tropics, only a very small percentage develops into a mature ...
