Basin-scale SST (a to d) and wind speed (e to h) anomalies during February to May 2010. SST and wind speed anomalies were calculated as the deviation of the monthly data from the climatological SST and wind speed calculated for the period 1994–2013. Monthly SST was calculated from the daily NOAA optimum interpolation (OI) SST V2 data (0.25° resolution; NOAA/OAR/ESRL PSD, Boulder, Colorado, USA; http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/). Wind speed was obtained from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) monthly reanalysis data set (ERA-interim, 0.25° resolution). The maps were generated with Matlab 2016a, the M_Map 1.7 toolbox (https://www.eoas.ubc.ca/~rich/map.html) and using the ETOPO2 Global 2 Arc-minute Ocean Depth and Land Elevation (National Geophysical Data Center/NESDIS/NOAA/U.S. Department of Commerce. 2001. ETOPO2, Global 2 Arc-minute Ocean Depth and Land Elevation from the US National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC).
