A Comparison of Southern Hemisphere Cyclone Track Climatology and Interannual Variability in Coarse-Gridded Reanalysis Datasets

Figure 4

SH Spring (OND) IOD positive-IOD negative cyclone track frequency composite for (a) NCEP1_5801, (b) like “a” but for ERA40_5801. Units: number of cyclones. Hatched areas are significant at 90% for 2-tailed 𝑡-test. (c) SH Spring (OND) IOD positive-IOD negative cyclone track intensity composite for NCEP1_5801 (d) like “c” but for ERA40_5801. Units: hPa. Hatched areas are significant at 90% for 2-tailed 𝑡-test.
