Fig. 2: EOF analysis of the MSLA in the European Arctic Corridor.

The sum of the first two modes (a) account for more than 80% of the total variability. The associated time-series (b) experiences a positive linear trend. The blue/red dots correspond to the latitude of the leading-edge of the Ehux blooms in the eastern Barents Sea for longitudes > 40°E (right red y-axis), which strongly correlates with the yearly averaged EOF-1+EOF-2 time-series (r = 0.77, p = 0.0002, two-sided t-test).
