Article copied and pasted?

It looks like parts of the article have been directly copied and pasted from http://meted.ucar.edu/norlat/snow/polarlows/1.3_devofpolarlow.htm ; I don't think that is allowed...? AySz88^-^ 02:02, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

Deleted some nonsense

Hello. I'm new here...a meteorologist from Penn State. Should get an account soon...learning my way around Wikipedia. Anyway, this is my first edit ever. Someone had added a bunch of nonsense about "The Coming Global Superstorm" from "The Day After Tomorrow." Setting aside the validity of the claims made in the text, this certainly did not belong in this particular article. There are other articles where it could be better place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.169.112.20 (talk) 04:10, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New paper

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v467/n7313/full/nature09388.html may be worth adding after a couple of months William M. Connolley (talk) 11:57, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

External links

Hi, just found that two of the four external links of that text do not work anymore and one leads you to a login page but not to freely available information — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.247.133.38 (talk) 07:50, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Transitions

Can an extra-tropical cyclone become a polar low and vice versa?32ieww (talk) 02:02, 16 December 2016 (UTC) 32ieww (talk) 02:02, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that not even the experts seem to know much about polar lows. What,for example are the "many small-scale cloud vortices at high latitudes" are the cyclones or anticyclones?:another problem is that there is no attempt to explain the mechanism. Presumably this is because only god knows what the mechanism is?

Critical mistakes from some editors

Some editors did not understand that polar lows are not extratropical cyclones in the polar regions, and polar lows are the completely different atmosphere phenomenons comparing to extratropical cyclones. Polar lows are more similar to subtropical cyclones, which are also shallowly warm-core, non-frontal, barotropic, small, and with a cold pool aloft. I am so sorry that I did not find those mistakes as early as I could. 🐱💬 07:06, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
