Composite of the sea surface height and current surrounding the Mozambique Channel from 2010 to 2019.

The study areas are indicated by dashed black squares, i.e., Box N: 10°S–18°S, 40°E–49°E; Box S: 18°S–24°S, 35°E–44°E.</p

The monthly average climate changes in wind stress (N/m²) and EKE (m²/s²) are represented by dashed lines and solid lines, respectively (a is for Box N and b is for Box S, which are shown in Fig 1).
