Fig. 3: Global landfalling tropical cyclone track modes, effective area of moisture supply from the ocean Ao, and decay.
Scatter plots of event-level τ versus Ao of tropical cyclones with landfall intensity ≥34 kt and ≥64 kt are shown in left and right panels, respectively. Corresponding correlations r and number of events N are provided. Linear regression lines (solid lines), and their corresponding 95% prediction bands (dash lines) derived from all events are overlaid.
