Bombogenesis“炸弹生成”

词汇专家袁新民老师说:
bomb属于拟声词。
词根gene或gen表示“生,产生”,作为后缀的-sis表示“过程,活动,状态”。
作为整体构词成分,-genesis 表示“起源”, “形成”,“发源”,“创造”,“演变”。

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 form of cyclogenesis. "The so-called 'bomb' is when the barometric pressure drops sharply," said Vaccaro. The lower the barometric pressure, the stronger the storm.
“炸弹生产”是用来描述一种迅速发展的暴风雪,它的特点是其中心气压的快速突袭。该词起源于词汇“气旋生成”。“炸弹生成”是气旋生成的一种。“所谓的‘炸弹’就是指大气压迅速下降的时候。”克里斯说。大气压越低,风暴越强。

This type of storm is common on the East Coast. For instance, many nor'easters are created through bombogenesis.
这种类型的暴风雪在东海岸很常见。比如许多东北风都是由它形成的。

Meteorologist John Bolaris at Philly.com was the first to use the term "bombogenesis" to describe the large, fast-moving snowstorm that was heading toward the East Coast. NPR journalist Mark Memmott noticed the unusual word and wrote his own article called "What Is This Bombogenesis And Why Is It Dumping Snow On Us?" Memmott's story went viral and brought national attention to the word.
气象学家约翰•博拉瑞斯在Philly网站上首次使用“炸弹生成”来描述当时正在向东海岸移动的剧烈、迅猛的暴风雪。美国国家公共广播之声的记者马克•麦默特注意到了这个特别的词并撰写了一篇文章名为《“炸弹生成”是什么以及它为什么会带来大雪》。马克的这篇文章像病毒一样迅速传播,引起了大家对这个新词的关注。
