This "bombing" of storms, whereby the atmospheric pressure drops very suddenly in the course of hours, was first coined by MIT professor Fred Sanders. Over time the name evolved into "bomb cyclone," then "bombogenesis.". To earn the name, storms north of 60 degrees latitude must have a drop in pressure of 24 millibars (a unit of The lower the pressure is, the stronger the storm. Bombogenesis is when a center of low pressure drops 24 millibars in 24 hours or more making the storm rapidly intensify leading to strong winds The term "bomb cyclone" comes from the meteorological term "bombogenesis" or "explosive cyclogenesis." This happens when a storm system's central pressure drops at least 24 millibars within 24 hours. A low-pressure system that achieves this mark becomes known as a "bomb cyclone." Meteorologists also use the phrase "bomb out" to describe the Bombogenesis is meteorological slang that describes a rapidly developing storm system as noted by the raid fall of its central pressure. The word originates from "cyclogenesis." Bombogenesis is a This process is known as bombogenesis, an equally cool weather word. Bomb cyclones can help draw colder air in from the North, which could, say, blast areas in the northern hemisphere with icy Bombogenesis, the calling card of a bomb cyclone, happens when the barometric pressure at the center of the cyclone pressure drops at least 24 millibars in 24 hours (a millibar is a unit of measurement for atmospheric pressure). Some of these storms can intensify much more quickly, though, dropping 60 millibars in 24 hours. Typically, cold air over (relatively) warmer water creates a volatile mix that can intensify storms very quickly.
