Abstract

Two pathways of tropical transition (TT), one involving initially strong extratropical precursors and the other involving perturbations that mainly organize convection but do not grow from baroclinic energy conversion, were analyzed. The two classes of precursors were referred to as strong extratropical (SE) and weak extratropical (WE). In SE cases, a low-latitude frontal cyclone developed to an intensity sufficient to trigger wind-induced surface heat exchange. In WE cases, precursor disturbances can be weak baroclinic waves.
