Inclusion of the downscaling simulations by WRF helps better reproduce the probability distribution of the TC's lifetime maximum intensity (LMI). In the warmer climate, the LMI of very intense TCs in WNP are projected to be stronger. Such an increase in intensity is statistically significant, and can be primarily explained by enhanced intensification rate. Meanwhile, TCs among the top 5% in LMI can reach higher intensities which cannot be attained in the current climate. After downscaling, the probability of WNP TCs reaching Category 4–5 increases by 6.5 percentage points in the late 21st century. This increase is 1.7 percentage points higher than the increase projected exclusively by HiRAM. Moreover, for TCs among the top 5% in LMI, a 233-km and 300-km westward shift of LMI locations is identified in the late 21st century for simulations with and without the downscaling approach, respectively. Both results suggest that very intense TCs would pose a higher threat to the WNP lands under global warming, as they become substantially stronger, and as their LMI locations migrate toward the coast. |
