Recent Research at GFDL on Surface Temperature Trends and Simulations of Tropical Cyclone Activity in the Indian Ocean Region - Monitoring and Prediction of Tropical Cyclones in the Indian Ocean and Climate Change - page 61

Fig. 8: Distribution of lifetime-maximum surface wind speeds in the North Indian
Ocean tropical cyclone observations (JTWC, in blue) and after downscaling simulated
storms from a GFDL 50-km grid global atmospheric model into the GFDL hurricane
model (red). The distributions have been normalized by the total number of storms (N)
so that the shape of the distribution can be more easily compared.
