Fig. 2: Tropical cyclone (TC) genesis numbers during El Niño and La Niña and their differences.

From: Unexpected limitation of tropical cyclone genesis by subsurface tropical central-north Pacific during El Niño

Fig. 2

a The TC genesis numbers estimated using the genesis potential index (GPIocean) during El Niño, b is for La Niña, and c is for the differences between El Niño and La Niña. d–f are the same as a–c but from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. TC genesis numbers are binned to a grid of 2.5° longitude × 2.5° latitude. El Niño and La Niña are defined with the Oceanic Niño Index (see Methods) and are listed in Supplementary Table S1.
