Abstract

This paper investigates how climate change will affect the movement of future landfalling Texas tropical cyclones (TCs), focusing on their translation speed. Using multiple large-ensemble/multi-model datasets and downscaling techniques, the study finds stronger northward steering winds over Texas in the future, leading to faster-moving TCs. A cluster analysis shows more frequent circulation regimes steering TCs northward. Downscaling experiments indicate a 10-percentage-point shift from slow-moving to fast-moving TCs in the late 21st century.
