Fig. 2

Time-depth distribution of NIKE (log10 scale) at station 4 after Typhoon Rammasun (a) and at station 2 after Typhoon Rammasun (b) and Kalmaegi (c). Dashed black lines mark the typhoon arrival on 17 July 2014 (a, b) and on 15 Sep 2014 (c). Local inertial periods (IPs) are 1.5 days and 1.6 days for stations 4 and 2, respectively. The NIKE values were averaged over the respective IP at each station.
