Extended Data Fig. 5: South Atlantic salinity indices.

a SSESA index (10°S-30°S; 5°E-20°E) in ESM-fw (solid) and OM-fw (dashed) simulations. b as in ‘a’ but for the Sswsa index (15°S-35°S; 60°W-30°W). c Anomalous Brazil Current volume transport in ESM-fw (orange solid line) and OM-fw (dashed black line). In all panels solid lines indicate 4-member ensemble mean and dashed lines indicate the single OM-fw simulation. Banding indicates 4-member ensemble range for ESM-fw and one standard deviation range of the control run for OM-fw.
