FIG. 2. Points ofmaximumTC–extratropical flow interaction plotted relative to the recurving WNPTC at the time ofmaximum interaction for strong TC–extratropical flow interactions (red diamonds; N 5 54), weak TC–extratropical flow interactions (blue circles; N 5 54), and interactions classified as neither strong nor weak (purple triangles;N5 164). The large diamond and circle represent the mean points of maximum TC–extratropical flow interaction for strong and weak interactions, respectively.
