Changes to Tropical Disturbances

Caption

Future changes in tropical disturbance activity (e.g. typhoons/cyclones) (perturbation kinetic energy [m2s-2]) (green: more activity, brown: less, gridded areas: statistically significant changes). Black dotted line shows the center of the monsoon trough. Increased tropical disturbance activity correlates well with increased precipitation along the monsoon trough.
