I'm only guessing but it appears that both GFS & ECMWF are trying to account for the "Fujiwhara Effect" (the influence of two tropical cyclones on each other).

(Hat tip to Target who posted these earlier):

and

Are these  trying to factor in "the relative value" of the Fujiwhara effect? That is only one of the factors.
