Bombogenesis?

Is it just me or have the ratings prostitutes been charged with developing new pseudoscientific terminology to induce curious viewers to tune in to find out what the hell it means?

[Tenacious 1]

What? Speaking of what it means.....

I like toast

[Red Badger]

To coin a phrase, no....................

[Larry Lucido]

Does a bombogenesis go...

No, not gonna say it.

[PGR88]

The simple answer is: “YES.”

This is what happens when one’s beeber isn’t properly stuned.

[AndyJackson]

not gonna say it.

Say what? Sean Hannity? Does it go, you know, like tic, toc,

Naming every snowflake didn’t increase ratings so they had to come up with something new. On one of the alphabets this morning some airhead kept saying, “bombastic” storm. I turned it off and I went out to shovel the climate change off my walkway.

Anyone see the latest radar? Looks like Bombogenesis to me...

Whether bombogenesis gains widespread use remains to be seen. However, the word has been in use for almost three decades, and appears to be increasing in frequency.

The earliest written record for bombogenesis that we currently have is from a thesis submitted for a Master of Science degree at North Carolina State University in 1989

How do you “stune” a “beeber”?

[Jane Long]

It’s an actual, long used term....

What is bombogenesis?

Bombogenesis, a popular term used by meteorologists, occurs when a midlatitude cyclone rapidly intensifies, dropping at least 24 millibars over 24 hours. A millibar measures atmospheric pressure. This can happen when a cold air mass collides with a warm air mass, such as air over warm ocean waters. The formation of this rapidly strengthening weather system is a process called bombogenesis, which creates what is known as a bomb cyclone.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

bombogenesis means a pressure drop of at least 24 mb in 24 hours. The term denotes a rapidly intensifying storm.

[Jane Long]

Nothing new. Not a new term/phrase.

See post 13.

lol!

[Larry Lucido]

And so it begi....

I mean...Commences henceforth, the phenomenon.

(Takes a drink).

This is what it looked like early this morning as sun was coming up....

Bombogenesis refers to a rapidly intensifying area of low pressure.
To be classified as a weather bomb, the central pressure of a low pressure system must drop at least 24 millibars within 24 hours.
