Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The boundary between a polar cell and a Ferrel cell creates extratropical cyclones. This occurs in each hemisphere. This area is called a polar front and generates large storms during winter seasons when the temperature and density differences are more pronounced. Information can be found in the section Storms Are Variations in Large-Scale Atmospheric Circulation.
