Le réchauffement rapide de la région polaire est lié à des phénomènes météorologiques extraordinaires tels que les «bombes météorologiques» (cyclones extratropicaux à développement explosif), les inondations au Royaume-Uni et des tornades hors saison aux États-Unis. 3, record 1, French, - bombe%20m%C3%A9t%C3%A9orologique
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Le terme «bombe météorologique» correspond strictement à une dépression des latitudes moyennes dont la pression centrale doit baisser de 24 [hectopascals] ou plus en 24 heures, et non son intensité. Il est souvent mal utilisé pour décrire un système qui cause des dégâts importants, mais dont le creusement n'est pas aussi rapide. Donc un cyclone extratropical peut être une bombe, mais ce ne sont pas tous les cyclones destructeurs qui sont des bombes. 4, record 1, French, - bombe%20m%C3%A9t%C3%A9orologique
