This research aims to evaluate the future projections of tropical cyclones in the southwest Indian Ocean using high-resolution climate models.
Analyzed high-resolution global climate model simulations from HighResMIP.
Identified tropical cyclone tracks using two tracking algorithms.
Compared model outputs to observations and reanalysis data.
Assessed the representation of TC intensity and frequency in different resolution models.
Higher resolution models show more intense TCs but still fail to replicate observed low pressures.
Future projections indicate a general decrease in TC frequency by 2050 across models.
Notable south-westward shift in TC tracks is observed in future climate scenarios.
Oceanic and atmospheric conditions become more favorable for stronger TCs in the Mozambique Channel.
