Return period wind speeds are computed assuming 14.91 events per year, based on the exceedance probability distribution of tropical cyclones passing through each 0.5° × 0.5° pixel. a, d Historical (1980–2014) wind speeds for 20-year and 50-year tropical cyclones, respectively. b, e Future (2066–2100) wind speeds for 20-year and 50-year tropical cyclones. c, f Difference (future minus historical) in wind speeds for 20-year and 50-year tropical cyclones. Regions with black markers denote areas where at least 8 out of 9 models agree on the sign of the difference.
