Fig. 1: Offshore turbine tower yielding probabilities under different tropical cyclone intensities.
From: Amplified threat of tropical cyclones to US offshore wind energy in a changing climate
Probabilities represent the likelihood of towers beginning to yield due to exposure to tropical cyclone winds for historical (1980–2014) and future (2066–2100) periods. a, d Historical yielding probabilities for 20-year and 50-year tropical cyclones, respectively. b, e Future yielding probabilities for 20-year and 50-year tropical cyclones. c, f Difference (future minus historical) in yielding probabilities for 20-year and 50-year tropical cyclones. Black markers denote regions where at least 8 out of 9 models agree on the sign of the difference.
