Fig. 4: Mangrove extents affected by non-analogous tropical cyclone frequency by the end of the century per intensity category and SSP.

From: Mangroves and their services are at risk from tropical cyclones and sea level rise under climate change

Fig. 4

The color bar indicates the projected frequency by 2100 as a percentage of the historical global maximum frequency per intensity category, with dark colors indicating projected frequencies of up to 200% of the historical global maximum frequency and lighter colors indicating projected frequencies up 350% of the historical global maximum. Only mangrove centroids with future TC frequencies higher than the historical global maximum per intensity category are shown. The historical maximum frequencies per category are 0.45 for TC1, 0.11 for TC2 and 0.02 for TC3, which corresponds to return periods of 2.22 years, 9.43 years, and 41.92 years, respectively.
