23 Institut für Meteorologie und Klimaforschung KIT – University of the State of Baden-Württemberg and National Laboratory of the Helmholtz Association 01 Oct 200830 Sep 200828 Sep 2008 Summary  Large variability in track forecast – will ET occur?  Convection and new PV tower develops as Jangmi interacts with low-level baroclinic zone  Outflow from convection into midlatitude jet - jet accelerates  Uncertainty downstream: does downstream low develop from Jangmi or is it a new development?  Contrast to Sinlaku: baroclinic development vs. TC reintensification
