The wind speed also contributes to the variability of the SST, showing negative Pearson coefficients (counter-correlation) over all areas (Figure 10b). High SST anomalies usually coincide with weak wind anomalies throughout the study period. The strongest impact of the wind on SST was detected over the broader Miami area (25–26° N) with correlation coefficients close to −0.40. The majority of the Straits of Florida showed correlation
