摘要
During the last few years, the theoretical study of cyclogenesis has experiences a remarkable renewal. The new data required by today's concepts were to be provided by the observations collected during the FASTEX field experiment. This paper presents one of the very first dynamical results. It reveals the unexpected importance of a low level precursor in IOP 17 cyclone, exhibited using a new objective diagnostic tool: the manipulation of initial conditions through potential vorticity and its inversion. Using the semi-qualitative reasoning, the case looked like a straightforward triggering of the cyclone by an upper tropospheric disturbance. (C) Academie des Sciences/Elsevier, Paris.
