Fig. 1: Relationship between sea surface temperature (SST) and western North Pacific (WNP) tropical cyclones (TC) by genesis locations during June–August (JJA).
From: Atlantic Niño increases early-season tropical cyclone landfall risk in Korea and Japan
Correlation between JJA SST and JJA TC genesis over (a) the WNP basin (5°–40°N, 100°E–160°W; green box), (b) the northern part of the WNP (22.5°N-40°N, 100°E–160°W; green box), and (c) the southern part of the WNP basin (5°N-22.5°N, 100°E–160°W; green box) during 1979–2022. Gray dots indicate significance above the 90% confidence level based on a Student’s t test.
