Abstract
Climate models show contrasting projections for future tropical cyclone (TC) frequency. This study demonstrates that warming-induced contraction of tropical convection delays and reduces TC formation. This contraction, characterized by stronger equatorial and weaker off-equatorial convection, shortens TC seasons and suppresses peak-season activity. The convection contraction and associated warming patterns partly explain the ensemble spread in projecting future TC frequency, highlighting the need for coordinated research to improve future TC risk projections.
