fujiwara?

#1 Postby windnrain » Sun Oct 23, 2005 11:26 am

Will we get a fujiwara effect between Alpha and Wilma? They will be passing awfully close to each other.

Most likely not... Alpha is expected to absorbed by Wilma and Wilma will merge with the cold front.

According to some other posters on this board, no, as one will be, other starting to be extratropical. They will also both be moving too fast for anything significant.

Probably not true Fujiwara - but I suspect Alpha is responsible for:

1) A weaker Wilma

2) Possibly this south trend



In my mind Alpha is probably shutting off inflows from the SE direction. The overall synoptic is probably being mildly affected.

I don't know how to figure mild Fujiwara in this NE-heading scenario - if any at all.

I insist this will keep Wilma down. Climatology forbids two strong cyclones close together in the Caribbean/GOM theatre...

Alpha is not and was never "strong".

Yeah, Alpha is a very weak cyclone, and it's actually a tropical depression now. I seriously question that Alpha had any significant impact on Wilma. If Alpha was a well-organized tropical storm, or a hurricane, I could believe that he had an impact on Wilma. However, that is not the case. With the huge size and intensity difference between Alpha and Wilma, we'll see absorption rather than evidence of the fujiwara effect.

I think it is when two tropical systems merge into one?

I thought it was when they"danced" together, so to say. I don't think it means merge to one, but I don't know. It came up a while back and can't remeber the exact term. I am sure someone will post a link to a deffination. :wink:

It's when two hurricanes, less than 800 miles apart, begin to move around a common point between them. The location of the point being determined by the relative size and strength of each. I looked it up.
