Fig. 4: Pathways of Atlantic Intermediate Water (AIW) towards the glacier.
From: Atlantic Water warming increases melt below Northeast Greenland’s last floating ice tongue
a Simulated mean of maximum temperature in the water column (1970–2021) and b its linear trend. c Maximum of the lagged point-wise correlation between the annual mean vertical maximum potential temperature in each model grid point occupied by Atlantic (Intermediate) Water and basal melt rate of the 79 North Glacier and d the corresponding lag in years. Time series have been detrended prior to computing correlations (Methods). Gray dots indicate areas with the significance of the correlation below the 95% confidence level. Only profiles with water temperatures above 0 ∘C were considered. Gray contours indicate the 1000 m and 2000 m isobaths.
