a, Time series of net heat flux into FRIS and RIS cavities from HIST, SSP245 and SSP585 runs. b–d, Overturning stream functions in FRIS (top) and RIS (bottom) cavities for ICE-HIST 1860s (b), ICE-SSP245 2160s (c) and ICE-SSP585 2160s (d), indicated in light blue in a. Red with solid contour lines indicates clockwise circulation, and blue with dashed contour lines indicates counterclockwise circulation. The contours and the colour bar are not uniformly spaced.
