*Note that Case 11 is strongly influenced by the fast-moving strong cyclone (Fig. 5), although its forcing curl is negative due to insufficient time-space resolution, and we thus set the curl to its absolute value.

The forcing wind stress curl and influencing SLA are defined as their corresponding values on the start day.
