Fig. 3

Horizontal distributions of normalized future changes of TC genesis density. Panels show TC genesis densities of models: a CNRM156, b CNRM055, c EC078, d EC039, e MPI100, f MPI052, g MRI060, h MRI020, i HG208, j HG093, k HG039, l NCM056, m NCM028, and p NCM014. Future change was defined as a difference between 25-year mean values of TC genesis density in the future climate (2025–2049) and the present-day climate (1990–2014) except for NCM014. In the case of NCM014, the present-day climate spans 2000–2009, and the future climate spans 2040–2049. Red colors indicate an increase in TC genesis density. Blue colors indicate a decrease in TC genesis density. Genesis density was defined as the number of TCs per year generated in a 5°×5° grid box. The numbers in parentheses are changes in the global annual TC genesis frequency for each model
