A binary interaction where tropical cyclones within a certain distance (300-750 nm depending on the sizes of the cyclones) of each other begin to rotate about a common midpoint.

The Fujiwhara effect or Fujiwara interaction is a type of interaction between two nearby cyclones (low pressures), causing them to appear to "orbit" each other.W hen the cyclones approach ea [..]

An interaction where tropical cyclones within a certain distance (300 - 750 nautical miles, depending on the sizes of the cyclones) of each other begin to rotate about a common midpoint. Typically, one of the cyclones becomes dominant while the other weakens.
