Expected changes in ocean surface temperature (°C) and sea ice concentration (%) for (a, c) the Northern Bering and Chukchi Sea and (b, d) the Barents Sea large marine ecosystems for climate change scenario SSP2-4.5. Projections are shown for each of the individual CMIP6 model and realization combinations used as forcing for the RTM. Thick blue and orange lines show the ensemble average without and with weighting based on skill and independence. Red dashed line (a, b) shows observed sea surface temperature from NOAA ERSSTv5 dataset67. Projected changes under SSP5-8.5 are shown in Supplementary Fig. 3.
