Warming is shown as the heat flux anomaly (W m−2) across 4000 m implied by the warming below 4000 m during the period a,b) 1991–2010, c,d) 1991–2030 and e,f) 1991–2050 from the [wind+thermal] run and the meltwater component, respectively. Grey contours represent the 4000 m isobath. The four arrow tail symbols along the coast of Antarctica denote the key locations of DSW and AABW formation.
