====TUTT cell==== {{Main|Upper tropospheric cyclonic vortex}} Under specific circumstances, upper level cold lows can break off from the base of the tropical upper tropospheric trough (TUTT), which is located mid-ocean in the Northern Hemisphere during the summer months. These upper tropospheric cyclonic vortices, also known as TUTT cells or TUTT lows, usually move slowly from east-northeast to west-southwest, and their bases generally do not extend below {{convert|20,000|ft|m}} in altitude. A weak inverted surface trough within the [[trade wind]] is generally found underneath them, and they may also be associated with broad areas of high-level clouds. Downward development results in an increase of [[cumulus cloud]]s and the appearance of a surface vortex. In rare cases, they become warm-core [[tropical cyclone]]s. Upper cyclones and the upper troughs that trail tropical cyclones can cause additional outflow channels and aid in their intensification. Developing tropical disturbances can help create or deepen upper troughs or upper lows in their wake due to the outflow jet emanating from the developing tropical disturbance/cyclone.<ref name="CLARK">{{cite web|author = Clark Evans|url = http://flhurricane.com/cyclone/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=64429&an=0&page=0|title = Favorable trough interactions on tropical cyclones|publisher = Flhurricane.com|date = January 5, 2006|access-date = 2006-10-20|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20061017001243/http://flhurricane.com/cyclone/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=64429&an=0&page=0|archive-date = October 17, 2006|url-status = dead}}</ref><ref name="AMSPAPER">{{cite journal|author1=Deborah Hanley |author2=John Molinari |author3=Daniel Keyser |title = A Composite Study of the Interactions between Tropical Cyclones and Upper-Tropospheric Troughs|date=October 2001|journal = [[Monthly Weather Review]]|publisher = [[American Meteorological Society]]|volume = 129|issue = 10|pages = 2570β84|doi = 10.1175/1520-0493(2001)129<2570:ACSOTI>2.0.CO;2|bibcode = 2001MWRv..129.2570H |doi-access = free}}</ref>
