Amplified Bimodal Distribution of Western North Pacific Tropical Cyclone Lifetime Maximum Intensity

Abstract The impact of a warming climate on tropical cyclones (TCs) remains unclear. Here, we find that the probability density function for western North Pacific TC lifetime maximum intensity (LMI) has an amplified bimodal distribution in recent years. This change implies a trend toward more extrem...
