Fig. 5: Historical WW climatology.
From: Giant iceberg meltwater increases upper-ocean stratification and vertical mixing
a, The climatological median of the WW cumulative buoyancy frequency for January–April 2005–2021 (2015 and 2021 omitted, see text), overlain on bathymetry (GEBCO Compilation Group, 2023). The pink and blue box extents (areal extents given in Methods) illustrate the spatial and temporal overlap between the iceberg and hydrographic profiles. b–g, Conservative temperature (CT) (b and e), absolute salinity (SA) (c and f) and N2 (d and g) coloured accordingly for each month’s profiles (February 2021, b–d and April 2015, e–g), with the climatology overlain in grey. The shading illustrates the s.d.
