Summary

A schematic theoretical explanation of one type of cyclogenesis, described in detail in [1], is presented. From a theoretical point of view, a “parameteric instability” of a system of two baroclinic waves (a synoptic trough and a sub-synoptic, locally conditioned wave), associated with the daily variation of the vertical stratification of the atmosphere, is involved. The theoretical possibility of explaining the interaction of the waves itself, based on the outflow of cold air from the region of the trough towards the sub-synoptic wave (the so-called jump of the cold front), is investigated.
