For cyclogenesis to occur along a frontal wave, which of the following conditions must be exhibited by the winds directly aloft of the wave?
A)convergence
B)direct movement from west to east
C)divergence
D)uniform increase in speed over a broad area

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cyclogenesis along a frontal wave requires the presence of upper-level divergence, which would be exhibited by the winds directly aloft of the wave. Convergence (choice A) would not lead to cyclogenesis, while direct movement from west to east (choice B) and uniform increase in speed over a broad area (choice D) are not necessarily indicative of the necessary conditions for cyclogenesis.
