Figure 1: Ocean environment change and influences on the TC-induced OCE.

From: Change in ocean subsurface environment to suppress tropical cyclone intensification under global warming

Figure 1

(a,b) SST warming over the WNP and the NA. (c,d) Similar to a,b, but for the ocean subsurface temperature at 80 m. The change is defined as the difference between the 2091–2100 mean and the 2006–2015 mean. The two large boxes denote the MDRs over the WNP and the NA. The NA warm belt region is denoted by a smaller box (northern box) in b,d. The star, triangle and circle denote the positions of the selected representative stations for the three regions. (e,f) Initial (e) and TC-mixed (f, output from the 3DPWP for scenario 8) ocean temperature profiles for the representative station of the NA MDR, comparing current and future conditions. (g,h) Similar to e,f, but for the NA warm belt. In e,g, the arrows and numbers denote the initial temperature increases under global warming at various ocean depths. Rep,. representative; Temp., temperature.
