a the TC lifetime maximum intensity (LMI, unit m s−1, b TC lifetime (unit: day), c genesis latitude (degree), d seas surface temperature (SST, unit: K), e tropospheric static stability (N2 ≡ Γd −Γ, unit K m−1), and f ventilation index (non-dimensional) using the formulation in ref. 29. All averages are computed within an area of 1000 km × 1000 km centered on the WRF model-simulated TC locations along TC tracks. Shaded boxes in a–c are the corresponding averages obtained from the best track during the historical period 1979–2003, and the asterisks denote significant changes in future periods relative to the historical simulations.
