Never encountered this word before...like the way it sounds and flows when said.
from The National Hurricane Center
>The Dvorak Technique Explained
The Dvorak technique is a method using enhanced Infrared and/or visible satellite imagery to quantitatively estimate the intensity of a tropical system. Cloud patterns in satellite imagery normally show an indication of cyclogenesis before the storm reaches tropical storm intensity. Indications of continued development and/or weakening can also be found in the cloud features. Using these features, the pattern formed by the clouds of a tropical cyclone, expected systematic development, and a series of rules, an intensity analysis and forecast can be made. This information is then standardized into an intensity code. <

cyclogenesisCyclogenesis is the calm before the storm. How about tempestugenesis? The moment before all hell breaks loose.

>>Cyclo-GEN-iss-iss<<More towards this one, Bel...with the hardest accent on the Gen, Gin.  But with a milder strong accent on CLO as well. cy- clo-GEN-uh-sis [i.e.] see cyclorama
