Decadal time series of (a) EOF1, EOF2, and EOF3 of winter heat flux, and the A-YSCWM and T-YSCWM in August (b) EOF1, EOF2, and EOF3 of summer heat flux, and the A-YSCWM and T-YSCWM in August (c) EOF1, EOF2, and EOF3 of winter wind stress, and the A-YSCWM and T-YSCWM in August (d) EOF1, EOF2, and EOF3 of summer wind stress, and the A-YSCWM and T-YSCWM in August. All of the time series are standardized. The A-YSCWM and T-YSCWM represent the area and averaged temperature of the YSCWM, respectively.
