Abstract

Polar Lows (PL) are intense mesoscale marine cyclones (Rasmussen and Turner, 2003) with a short lifetime (usually between six and 36 hours) and occurring preferentially in high latitude regions in both hemispheres. It is a phenomenon with a horizontal extent of less than 1000 km and usually develops in the background of extratropical cyclones.
