Fig. 3: Dominance of the state change of the Beaufort Gyre in CMIP6 simulations.
From: Dominant inflation of the Arctic Ocean’s Beaufort Gyre in a warming climate
a Time series of freshwater content (FWC) in the Beaufort Gyre region. The thick solid line denotes the multi-model mean (MMM), the thin gray lines denote individual models, and the shading indicates model spreads ( ± 0.5 standard deviation). b, MMM changes of FWC between 1981–2000 and 2081–2100 in the Beaufort Gyre region in comparison with other Arctic regions. BG: Beaufort Gyre region (Canada Basin), MB: Makarov Basin, EB: Eurasian Basin, ESS: East Siberian Sea, LS: Laptev Sea, BKS: Barents-Kara seas. The inset depicts the Arctic regions analyzed in this study. The error bars indicate model spreads. c–d the same as (a–b), but for sea surface height (SSH). e-f, the same as (a–b), bur for surface geostrophic current (SGC) speeds.
