==Types== ===Upper-level low=== The most common type of subtropical storm is an upper-level cold low with circulation extending to the surface layer and maximum sustained winds generally occurring at a radius of about {{convert|160|km|mi|sp=us}} or more from the center. In comparison to [[tropical cyclone]]s, such systems have a relatively wide zone of maximum winds that is located further from the center, and typically have a less symmetric wind field and distribution of convection.<ref>[[National Hurricane Center]] (2009). [http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutgloss.shtml Glossary of NHC Terms.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120927232946/http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutgloss.shtml |date=2012-09-27 }} Retrieved on 2009-02-07.</ref> ===Mesoscale low=== A second type of subtropical cyclone is a mesoscale low originating in or near a frontolyzing zone of horizontal wind shear, also known as a "dying" frontal zone, with radius of maximum sustained winds generally less than {{convert|50|km|mi|sp=us}}. The entire circulation may initially have a diameter of less than {{convert|160|km|mi|sp=us}}. These generally short-lived systems may be either [[cold-core low|cold core]] or [[warm core]], and in 1972 this type of subtropical cyclone was ephemerally referred to as a "neutercane".<ref>Neal Dorst (2007). [http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/A18.html Subject: A18) What is a neutercane?] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090115173546/http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/A18.html |date=2009-01-15 }} [[Hurricane Research Division]].
