Buoy observed atmosphere and ocean variables at NTU1 and NTU2 during 4–14 July 2016. a, e Air pressure (black line) and wind speed (blue line), with the top axis indicates time in inertial periods and the wind speed 13.9 m s−1 (equivalent to 50 km h−1 or a Beaufort scale 7) indicated by the black horizontal line. b, f Buoy data-derived net air–sea heat flux (Qnet), net radiation (Qsw + Qlw), latent heat flux (Qlat), and sensible heat flux (Qsen). c, g Observed velocity-derived 75 m depth inertial-band (periods from 28.07 to 49.3 h) velocity sticks. d, h Inertial-band temperature anomalies in the upper 500 m (color shading) and the mixed layer depth (blue lines). The two magenta vertical dashed lines indicate the time at a minimum air pressure (left) and after the 0.5 local inertial period (right)
