Information
has glosseng: Polar cyclones (also known as Arctic Cyclones) are large areas of low pressure. They should not be confused with polar lows since people happen to use the same term for polar cyclones. Polar cyclones are usually 1,000 to 2,000 kilometers wide in which the air is moving in a spiral counterclockwise fashion in the northern hemisphere. The reason for the rotation is the same as tropical cyclones, the Coriolis effect. They also exist in places such as Greenland, the Eurasian Arctic area, and northern Canada, with about 15 cyclones per winter. Polar cyclones can form in any time of the year, although summer polar cyclones are usually weaker than the ones that form in the winter. Also, they are not closely studied and are rarely destructive since they exist in areas with little or no population.
has glosseng: Polar cyclones (also known as polar vortices, Arctic cyclones, and sub-polar cyclones) are low-pressure areas which strengthen in the winter and weaken in the summer. A polar cyclone is a low pressure weather system usually spanning 1,000–2,000 kilometers in which the air is circulating in a counter-clockwise fashion (in the northern hemisphere). The reason for the rotation is the same as any other cyclone, the Coriolis effect. One center lies near Baffin Island and the other over northeast Siberia. In the southern hemisphere, it tends to be located near the edge of the Ross ice shelf near 160 west longitude. When the polar vortex is strong, the Westerlies increase in strength. When the polar cyclone is weak, the general flow pattern across mid-latitudes buckles and significant cold outbreaks occur.

Meaning
French
has glossfra: Un cyclone polaire est un système de basse pression, couvrant habituellement une zone de 1 000 à 2 000 kilomètres, identique aux cyclones extratropicaux, dits dépressions des latitudes moyennes, mais qui se développe dans les latitudes arctiques et antarctiques. Les cyclones polaires se forment le long du front polaire , une bande de contraste thermique entre lair venant des Pôles et celle venant des latitudes moyennes du globe. Lair circule dans ces dépressions dans le sens contraire des aiguilles dune montre dans lhémisphère nord et dans le sens inverse dans lhémisphère sud sous limpulsion de la force de Coriolis.

has glosspor: Ciclone polar (também conhecido como ciclone ártico ou antártico) é um termo usado em meteorologia para designar vários tipos de áreas de baixa pressão. Os ciclones polares não devem ser confundidos com baixas polares, que têm a forma similar a de um furacão.

Castilian
has glossspa: Un ciclón polar o ciclón ártico es un sistema atmosférico de baja presión, atravesando entre 1000 y 2000 kilómetros, en los que el aire circula en sentido contrario a las agujas del reloj (en el hemisferio norte). El motivo de esta rotación el mismo que el de los ciclones tropicales, el efecto Coriolis. Este tipo de fenómenos no debe confundirse con lo que se conoce comúnmente como baja polar, cuyo comportamiento es similar al de un huracán.
