Scatter plots of the TC properties versus the minimum sea-level pressure. Scatter plot represents a the relationship between the minimum sea-level pressure (Min. SLP) and the convective mass flux over the TC domain [A], b the relationship between the min. SLP and the fractional area of the strong updrafts [B], and (c) the relationship between the min. SLP and the area-averaged convective mass flux [A/B] for all the simulated TCs. The PD simulation is shown by blue dots and the GW simulation by red dots; blue and red lines show regressions for the PD and GW simulations, respectively. The convective mass flux and the fractional area of the strong updrafts are accumulated for the lifetime of each TC, so that these have units of kg m-2 and s, respectively. Only the vertical velocities exceeding the threshold value of 0.5 m s-1 were used. The values at an altitude of 4 km are shown. After Fig. 5 of Satoh et al. (2015)
