Fig. 4: The climatological mean horizontal winds in observation and models along with the change in wind and temperature in future warming scenarios.
From: Future changes in tropical cyclone tracks over the western North Pacific under climate change
The horizontal winds (vector, m s−1) averaged from 850 hPa to 300 hPa during JASO in the (a) ERA5 data, (b) HST run, (c) W2K run, and (d) W4K run along the horizontal winds (shading, m s−1) at 300 hPa. The contrast of the (e, f) horizontal winds and (g, h) air temperature averaged from 850 hPa to 300 hPa between (e, g) W2K and HST and (f, h) W4K and HST during JASO over the WNP based on the d4PDF ensemble for last 32 years. The red dots in (e, f) denote that the difference in the horizontal winds is significant at the 95% confidence level. All the regions in (g, h) are significant at the 95% confidence level.
