Fig. 4: Relationship between changes in marine heatwave (MHW) mean intensity and sea ice area in the Arctic Ocean in different warming scenarios.
From: Arctic Amplification of marine heatwaves under global warming
a–d Monthly changes in MHW mean intensity (red box plots) and sea ice area (blue lines) in the Arctic Ocean. Correlations between MHW mean intensity changes and sea ice area changes across CMIP6 models during (e–h) warm season (March–August) and (j–m) cold season (September–February). i Correlation in the period from March to May under the SSP585 scenario. In the box plots in (a–d), the marks inside the boxes indicate the median and the bottom and top edges of the boxes indicate the 25th percentile and 75th percentile, respectively. The red vertical lines extend to the most extreme data points not considered outliers. The black ‘+‘ symbols denote outliers. The changes are the results of 2071–2100 relative to 1985–2014.
