Climatology of (a, b) SST (°C), d, e Tropical cyclone heat potential (TCHP, kJ/cm2) (g, h) mixed layer depth (MLD, m) and (j, k) Ocean thermal structure (Tssc calculated as SST minus average T100, °C) during the summer (left column) and autumn (central column) seasons, for the period 2005–2020. Differences in (c) SST (°C), f TCHP (kJ cm−2) (i) MLD (m) and (l) Tssc (°C) between the two seasons (autumn minus summer, right column).
