Todo
[edit]I've flagged this one for expert attention, as it needs some amplification. The introductory paragraph especially is a bit disjointed. It's not clear from the wording whether there are two semipermanent cyclones, or several which occur throughout the year. Looking elsewhere in Wikipedia, it's made clear that "cyclone" is itself rather a vague term. This issue needs some fleshing out by an expert.
The comparisons made under 'duration and power' are helpful. More along these lines would be good. Pufferfyshe (talk) 10:16, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Surely there must be Antarctic cyclones too. Robert P. O'Shea
- The term polar vortex/circumpolar whirl applies to both hemispheres. There is no bias. Thegreatdr (talk) 22:03, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
Merger
[edit]Since 10 months has gone by with no comment, I'll comment. I support merger of the two articles. The problem is, polar vortex is the more common term, so the polar cyclone article contents would need to be dumped into polar vortex, not vice versa. A web search should verify this easy enough. The content is merged, and this article is now a redirect to the other one. Thegreatdr (talk) 22:16, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
