A bomb cyclone is a powerful storm that forms in the mid-latitudes. It
features low pressure at its center, weather fronts, and various
accompanying weather, including blizzards, severe thunderstorms, and heavy
precipitation. When its central pressure drops dramatically—at least 24
millibars in 24 hours—it turns into a bomb.
In a 1980 research, two renowned meteorologists, Fred Sanders and John
Gyakum, gave this pattern its name.
