Fig. 3: Increasing current velocities in the European Arctic Corridor.
From: Faster Atlantic currents drive poleward expansion of temperate phytoplankton in the Arctic Ocean
Surface absolute geostrophic velocities during the extremums of the time-series which are, respectively, reached in December 1993 (a, minimum) and 2015 (b, maximum) with the corresponding absolute linear trend of the entire time-series (all months) over the 1993–2016 period (c). Areas covered by sea ice (sea-ice concentration > 15%) or with insufficient data coverage for the trend (<50%) are in dark gray.
