Editing Subtropical cyclone (section)

==History of term==
Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, the terms semi-tropical and quasi-tropical were used for what would become known as the subtropical cyclones.<ref>David B. Spiegler (1973). Many times, subtropical cyclones have a small warm core.

Later, intense debate ensued in the late 1960s, after a number of hybrid cyclones formed in the Atlantic Basin. In 1972, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) finally designated these "hybrid" storms as true subtropical cyclones in real-time,<ref name="NHC1972">R. H. Simpson and Paul J. Hebert (1973).

The term "neutercane" began to be used for small subtropical cyclones below 100 miles in diameter<ref>{{Cite web |title=Definition of NEUTERCANE |url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/neutercane |access-date=2022-04-18 |website=www.merriam-webster.com |language=en |archive-date=2022-04-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220418123144/https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/neutercane |url-status=live }}</ref> which formed from mesoscale features, and the NHC began issuing public statements during the [[1972 Atlantic hurricane season]] employing that classification. This name was not noted as controversial in contemporary news reports, but it was quickly dropped less than a year later. Recent articles, published after the year 2000, have suggested that the name "neutercane" was considered sexist in the 1970s, but there do not appear to be any published reports from that period making this claim.<ref>Weatherwise  (2006).
