(a) Correlation between equatorial MHWs and coastal MHWs for 5 coastal latitude bands. The correlation is presented for events of duration 5–30 days (blue), 30–100 days (green) and longer than 100 days (yellow). The number indicates the lag for the highest correlation, in days. (b) Averaged wind anomaly on the first day of a MHW event. Results are presented for events of duration 5–30 days (blue), 30–100 days (green), longer than 100 days (yellow) and for events 5–10 days located less than 100 km from the shore (black). The figure was created using Matlab R2020b (https://matlab.mathworks.com/).
