5-member ensemble mean of the zonal mean differences in a, temperature, b, salinity, c, oxygen, d, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), e, nitrate and f, pH between years 2014-2019 of the 0.2×WMRCP8.5 ESM2M simulation and years 1985–2005 of the standard simulation, sub-sampled on the same grid as the observations. Solid and dashed lines show zonal mean 1985–2005 and 2014–2019 isopycnal surfaces respectively. The grey error bars indicate the range of uncertainty in isopycnal depths, as diagnosed from 75 20-years periods of a 1500-year pre-industrial ESM2M control simulation. The stippling indicates where the differences are significant at the 90% level. R-values in the bottom right corners of the panels give the correlation coefficient with the observed zonal mean changes in Figs. 1 and 2.
