CONT

A second type of subtropical cyclone is a mesoscale low originating in or near a frontolyzing zone of horizontal wind shear, with radius of maximum sustained winds generally less than 30 miles. The entire circulation may initially have a diameter of less than 100 miles. These generally short-lived systems may be either cold core or warm core.

OBS

Structurellement, dans les cyclones tropicaux, les vents les plus forts se situent près du sol (conséquence d'être un «warm-core» dans la troposphère), alors que dans les dépressions des latitudes moyennes, les vents les plus forts sont près de la tropopause (conséquence d'être un «warm-core» dans la stratosphère et un «cold-core» dans la troposphère).
