Seasonality of surface net heat flux response to the (a,c) northerly and (b,d) southerly wind events. The changes in the surface net heat flux between the peaks and its previous 3Â days are shown as box plots for the two buoy sites: (a,b) JKEO and (c,d) KEO. Seasons are defined as four different periods: December, January, and February (DJF); March, April, and May (MAM); June, July, and August (JJA); and September, October, and November (SON). Significant differences (99%) between the peaks and its previous 3Â days are indicated by a thick black bar at the bottom. The box plots were depicted with the minimum, the maximum, the median, and the first and third quartiles. The white dashed lines and black diamonds are showing means and outliers.
