Abstract

During the periods of cyclonic activity, tropical cyclones frequently develop in groups partially coinciding in time. In the “atmosphere–ocean” system, the conditions favoring the development of tropical cyclones are limited. In such setting, a “competition struggle” between tropical cyclones suggesting their possible interrelation is possible. As a result of this study, a regression signature illustrating the energetic impact of a group of tropical cyclones on the development of an individual cyclone in this group has been revealed.
