Is the biggest storm in the troposphere a tropical cyclone?

Yes, the biggest storm in the troposphere is a tropical cyclone.

The biggest storm in the troposphere is a tropical cyclone. It is a warm-air swirling vortex that develops strongly on the surface of tropical or subtropical oceans.

Tropical cyclone is a low-pressure vortex that occurs on the surface of tropical or subtropical ocean, and it is a powerful and profound tropical weather system.

Tropical cyclones can occur in the western Pacific and its adjacent waters (typhoons), the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific (hurricanes), the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific.

Tropical cyclone, that is, mesoscale or synoptic warm cyclone generated on the tropical ocean surface, can be roughly divided into four stages: generation, development, maturity and extinction.

In China, tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific and the South China Sea are classified into six grades according to the maximum average wind speed near the bottom center, and the wind reaches 12 or above, which is collectively called typhoon.

Troposphere refers to the atmosphere closest to the earth's surface, and it is also the lowest layer of the atmosphere with the highest density. It contains almost 75% air quality and almost all water vapor and aerosol.

The troposphere extends from the earth's surface to the top of the troposphere, the beginning of the stratosphere.

At high latitudes, the friction of the surface will affect the airflow, forming a planetary boundary layer with an average thickness of 2 kilometers.

The formation of this layer mainly depends on the topography, and it will also be separated from the rest of the troposphere by the countercurrent layer.
