A crosswind will decrease the lateral movement of the upwind vortex and increase the movement of the downwind vortex.

Choppers use category A MDA or DH (AGL) with half the published visibility (97.3)

For other than “copter-only” approaches, the required visibility minimum for Category I approaches may be reduced to one-half the published visibility minimum for Category A aircraft...

...but in no case may it be reduced to less than one-quarter mile prevailing visibility, or, if reported, 1,200 feet RVR.
