Extended Data Fig. 9: Recent and projected abyssal freshening.
From: Abyssal ocean overturning slowdown and warming driven by Antarctic meltwater
Freshwater flux anomaly (cm yr−1) across 4000 m during the period a,d,g) 1991–2010, b,e,h) 1991–2030 and c,f,i) 1991–2050 from the [wind+thermal+meltwater] run, the [wind+thermal] run and the estimated meltwater component, respectively. Grey contours represent the 4000 m isobath. The Australian–Antarctic basin (AAB), Weddell–Enderby basin (WEB) and Amundsen–Bellingshausen basin (ABB) are indicated in a).
