Figure 6

(a) Mean surface water circulation for the hindcast simulation (2010–2015). Background color indicate the mean velocity (m s-1) while the black arrows show the direction. The magenta line indicate the region occupied by the Northern Current (see text for details). (b) Same as a) but for the ENSEMBLE simulation. (c) Mean kinetic energy of the Northern Current (the magenta area in panel a) for the hindcast (black line) and the four different scenarios (colored lines). (d) Relative anomaly (in %) of the mean kinetic energy of the North Current in the different scenarios with respect to the hindcast simulation. Maps were created by the authors using MATLAB software vR2014b (https://it.mathworks.com/products/matlab/matlab-graphics.html).
