| Summary: | <!--!introduction!--> There are multiple types of synoptic-scale cyclones over the globe including tropical, subtropical, and extratropical cyclones. As the atmosphere is a continuum, cyclones can form as one type and then evolve to another; for example, it is well known that tropical cyclones change into extratropical cyclones at the midlatitudes (extratropical transition). The working group on “phase transitions” in the 10th WMO International Workshop on Tropical Cyclones (IWTC-10) in 2022 focused not only on extratropical transition but also on other types of transitions comprehensively. Tropical transition (TT) is a phase transition in which subtropical or extratropical cyclones change into tropical cyclones. While many studies have reported TT cases in the North Atlantic, TT is considered to be a universal process. We demonstrate a TT case in the western North Pacific based on observations and simulations.
