Fig. 2

a TC lifetime distribution as obtained from the WRF downscaling experiments for the CMIP5/CMIP6 historical period (solid and dashed black), RCP45/RCP85 (blue/orange), SSP245/SSP285 (cyan/red), and corresponding best track distribution during the 1979–2003 period (thick gray); b Averaged number of short-lived TCs (lifetime ≤ 5 days) for best track (black column), downscaled CMIP5 (blue columns) and CMIP6 (grey columns), and c Similar to b but for the long-lived TCs (lifetime > 5).
