Spatial and temporal patterns of KE dynamics (KE atmospheric response and forcing of KE) based on singular value decomposition (SVD) analysis between KE SSH and midlatitude wind stress curl with lead/lag times. Patterns of the leading SVD mode between the observed (a) SSH over the KE region (blue box) and (b) 12mon-lagged Curl over the downstream region (green box) for the recent period. (c) The associated time series of corresponding SSH and SVD modes. (d-f) Same as in (a–f), but for with mon-leading Curl. The same analysis was repeated with HRC in (g–i) and (j–l). The figures are provided using MATLAB R2017a (https://www.mathworks.com/products/new_products/release2017a.html).
