The percentage of MAR a 2 m temperature occurrences b surface melt, and c runoff at or above the 99.9th percentile of the 1980–2019 monthly mean climatology (December–March) that occurred within 24 h before and after an AR landfall on the AP. d Percentage of total annual rainfall from 1980 to 2019 associated with AR landfalls. e The composite 2-day sea-ice fraction difference for annual AR landfalls with a maximum IVT at or above 400 kg m−1 s−1 (n = 357). f Percentage of annual swells at or above the 99.9th percentile of the 1980–2019 monthly mean climatology associated with AR landfalls.
