“…Taking all three changes (centroid X , variance in X , and life‐time) into account, the eastward shift in cluster F is clear, though not statistically significant when only considering centroid X changes. As cluster F has genesis locations very close to the date line, this eastward shift would lead to a higher occurrence of central Pacific storms in the future, as previously discussed in the literature (Colbert et al, ; Li et al, ; Mori et al, ; Murakami et al, , ; Roberts et al, ; Yokoi et al, ; Zhang et al, ). This track type is also modulated by the central Pacific or Modoki ENSO.…”
