Figure 4: Differences in spatial patterns of TC occurrence frequency over the NA and WNP between the late 21st century (2080–2099) and the present climate period (1986–2005).

The contour interval is 0.05 and 0.2 frequency for the NA and WNP, respectively. Dots indicate 15 of 22 CMIP5 models, showing the same signs of averages in differences of TC occurrence frequencies. The size of the grid box is 5° × 5° in a latitude-longitude direction. The figure was plotted by using NCL version 6.3.0, “The NCAR Command Language (Version 6.3.0) [Software]. (2016).
