Fig. 4: Comparisons of TC intensity reconstructions with other paleoclimatic records.

a TC intensity from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang coasts. Z-score was realized by averaging the Z-cores of these two records. b SST reconstructions from the Indo-Pacific warm pool^55,89 (c) Reconstructed ENSO from the equatorial Pacific^55,56 and the TRACE simulation⁹⁰. d AMOC reconstructions from the Bermuda Rise⁵⁷ and northern Iceland Basin⁵⁸. e Reconstructed Saharan dust and vegetation from West and East Africa^59,60. f Reconstruction of the WAM from equatorial Cameroon⁶¹. The gray bar shows the shift in TC intensity in eastern China. The shifts in the magnitude of ESNO, AMOC, and Saharan dust were detected using the popular iterated cumulative sums of squares algorithm⁴⁶.
