What Does TUTT Stand For?

TUTT stands for Tropical Upper Tropospheric Trough

TUTT, or Tropical Upper Tropospheric Trough, refers to a significant atmospheric feature characterized by a region of low pressure and enhanced vertical wind shear located in the upper troposphere, typically within tropical and subtropical latitudes. This trough plays a crucial role in weather patterns, influencing tropical cyclone development, precipitation distribution, and the overall dynamics of the tropics. Its structure and behavior are essential for meteorologists in understanding and predicting tropical weather phenomena.
