Threshold temperatures used to track the MCSs in the ocean. The continuous curve ( ) is the dynamic threshold temperature used to define the MCSs, and the dotted curve ( ) is the dynamic threshold temperature used to define the convective cells merged inside the MCSs. The fixed is represented by the horizontal line.
