Distributions and differences during El Niño and La Niña dissipation (ELD and LAD) events in the tropical cyclone (TC) season

Caption

Distributions of (A and B) vertical wind shear [VWS (m/s)], (D and E) 600-hPa relative humidity [RH (%)], (G and H) sea surface temperature anomalies [SSTAs (°C)], and (J and K) tropical cyclone heat potential [TCHP (kJ/cm2)] for the ELD and LAD events during the TC season. Differences in the (C) VWS, (F) 600-hPa RH, (I) SST, and (L) TCHP between LAD and ELD events. The white dots denote statistical significance at the 95% level.
