Fig. 1: Global climatology of the season-level decay of landfalling tropical cyclones.

Left and right columns show the time series of the season-level τ (dots) and numbers of landfall events (bars) of tropical cyclones from individual basins with landfall intensity ≥34 kt and ≥64 kt, respectively (NA North Atlantic; WNP western North Pacific; NI North Indian Ocean; SP South Pacific; SI South Indian Ocean). Corresponding linear regression trends (lines), p values, and number of seasons n over different study periods are provided.
