From: Impact of the Kuroshio large meander on local atmospheric circulation and precipitation in winter
Regression coefficients of the 10-m wind as derived from the ERA5 dataset onto the Kuroshio large meander index from 1982 to 2019. This index is defined by the difference in the observed SST averaged over the region indicated by the blue box (33.5°N–34.5°N, 136.5°E–138.5°E) minus the region indicated by the red box (32.5°N–33.5°N, 136°E–138°E). The black (gray) vectors indicate the regions where the corresponding correlation coefficients for either of zonal or (and) meridional wind are (not) statistically significant at the 95% confidence level
