TUTTs [tropical upper tropospheric troughs] are important for tropical cyclone forecasting as they can force large amounts of vertical wind shear over tropical disturbances and tropical cyclones which may inhibit their strengthening.

Les TUTT [creux tropicaux en haute troposphère] sont importants pour la prévision des cyclones, car ils peuvent amener de forts cisaillements verticaux de vents, nuisibles au bon développement d'une dépression tropicale.
