a Historical conditions; b Stage 1 of the response; c Stage 2 of the response. Blue arrows show cold High Salinity Shelf Water, red arrows show Warm Deep Water, and purple arrows show Modified Warm Deep Water. The thickness of the arrows indicates the strength of circulation. The colour scale shows bathymetry (seafloor depth) in km. Geographical features are labelled in (a) as follows: RD Ronne Depression, BB Berkner Bank, FT Filchner Trough, BI Berkner Island, RIS Ronne Ice Shelf, FIS Filchner Ice Shelf.
