Predictability Associated with the Downstream Impacts of the Extratropical Transition (ET) of Tropical Cyclones

Abstract

The poleward movement of a decaying tropical cyclone (TC) often results in a rapidly-moving, explosively-deepening midlatitude cyclone. The re-intensification of the remnant TC as an extratropical cyclone depends on the phasing between the decaying TC and a midlatitude environment that is favorable for midlatitude cyclogenesis.
