The Fujiwhara effect or Fujiwhara interaction is a type of interaction between two nearby cyclonic vortices. When the vortices approach each other, their centers will begin orbiting cyclonically about a point between the two systems.
Fujiwhara Effect 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.
Fujiwhara effect- The Fujiwhara effect describes the rotation of two storms around each other.
Fujiwhara Effect: The tendency of two nearby tropical cyclones to rotate cyclonically about each other.
FUJIWHARA EFFECT - The rotation and influence of two vortices on each other. Commonly observed when two tropical cyclones of similar intensity come within 700 miles of each other.
