Extended Data Fig. 1: EKE in two depth ranges, mixed layer and above halocline base from the 1 km resolution simulations.
From: Eddy activity in the Arctic Ocean projected to surge in a warming world
(a) The solid and dashed lines represent the mean EKE in the top 100 m and in the 100-200 m depth range, respectively. (b) The solid and dashed lines represent the mean EKE in the mixed layer and above halocline base depth, respectively. We compute mixed layer depth as the depth at which the potential density differs by 0.1 kg/m3 from the surface density, and halocline base depth as the depth where the ratio of temperature-induced vertical density gradient to salinity-induced vertical density gradient reaches 0.05. The pink, blue, and green lines depict the EKE of the Arctic Ocean, Canada Basin and Eurasian Basin, respectively.
