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.

«Warm-core» (cœur chaud) signifie que le cœur de la dépression est relativement plus chaud que son environnement pour une même surface de pression (une «surface de pression» étant une autre manière de mesurer la hauteur ou l'altitude).  1, record 3, French, - noyau%20chaud

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).  1, record 4, French, - noyau%20froid

Small, shallow depression which forms mainly in winter over some high-latitude seas within a polar or arctic air mass.  5, record 7, English, - polar%20low

Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 CONT

When arctic-origin air in winter flows southward (northward in the southern hemisphere) across (relatively) warmer seas, strong surface heating acts both to enhance the degree of instability, and trigger vigorous moist convective towers. This is sufficient alone to give rise to heavy, wintry showers/cumulonimbus clusters etc., but often marked troughing, or even a closed circulation in the isobaric flow is found; the resultant low-level convergence/positive vorticity enhancement, plus the localised concentration of the latent heat energy released, enhances development within the system, and an intense (but synoptically small) area of rain, hail, sleet or snow & squally winds can result - a polar low (or polar depression or polar meso-cyclone in some texts).  2, record 7, English, - polar%20low

What is a polar low? Part of a diverse group of mesoscale weather systems(polar meso-cyclones).... [There is] three types of polar meso-cyclones :-jet streak type,-arctic front type,-cold low type.  6, record 7, English, - polar%20low

Polar mesocyclones: a term now used to encompass the whole ’family’ of disturbances resulting from arctic air flowing equatorward over progressively warmer seas; the term ’polar low’ is now often used only for ’extreme’ systems where gale or near gale-force winds are observed.  7, record 7, English, - polar%20low
