Short summary
Tropical cyclones that move into the midlatitudes become extratropical cyclones, so-called extratropical transition. In this study, we detected transition events in the Southern Hemisphere based on the model data. We found that weather patterns during the transition are different from case to case. In some cases, strong tropical cyclones interact with the midlatitude flow and lead to great changes in weather nearby.
