Fujiwhara effect

The tendency of two nearby tropical cyclones to rotate cyclonically about each other as a result of their circulations' mutual advection. This occurs with some frequency in the northwestern Pacific basin, where it presents a significant forecast challenge, but happens more rarely in other ocean basins. See binary cyclones.
