Fig. 1: Intensification of Arctic Ocean currents and eddy activity in a warming climate.
From: Eddy activity in the Arctic Ocean projected to surge in a warming world
a–f, Snapshots of ocean currents and eddy activity at the surface (a,d) and at 50 m deep (b,e) from a global sea ice–ocean simulation with a resolution of 1 km in the Arctic. The right column shows the corresponding Arctic sea ice concentration (c,f). The upper row is for 27 December 2015 (present-day), and the bottom row is for 27 December 2095 (approximately +4 K warmer world). This figure is intended only for illustrative purposes; refer to other figures for quantitative representations of the changes in the ocean. Credit: background image, NASA Earth Observatory.
