Global warming hiatus contributed to the increased occurrence of intense tropical cyclones in the coastal regions along East Asia

Abstract The recent global warming hiatus (GWH) was characterized by a La Niña–like cooling in the tropical Eastern Pacific accompanied with the Indian Ocean and the tropical Atlantic Ocean warming. Here we show that the recent GWH contributed significantly to the increased occurrence of intense tro...
