Reduced standard deviations exist over the Eastern Hemisphere +120 h
24 Impacts on Forecasting The movement of a tropical cyclone into the midlatitudes often induces a large downstream Rossby-wave like response. These large-amplitude circulation features are often mis-positioned, which contributes to errors in the forecast timing and interaction between the decaying tropical cyclone and the midlatitude circulation into which it is moving.
