Fig. 4: BTEC response due to changes in transient eddies, background flows, and their interactions during the CO2 pathway.
From: Basin-dependent response of Northern Hemisphere winter blocking frequency to CO2 removal
Time series of BTECx (Unit: 10−5 m2 s−3) induced by eddies (BTECxca; navy), background flows (BTECxac; green), and their nonlinear interaction (BTECaa; light blue) changes for a the North Atlantic and b the North Pacific (see Eqs. 8, 9 in Methods for the definition of each term). Panels in c, d are the same as in a, b, but for BTECy (BTECyca in orange; BTECyac in red; BTECyaa in pink). Solid lines and shading denote the ensemble mean and spread, respectively. The results are shown with an 11-year running average. Vertical lines denote the end of the ramp-up and ramp-down periods, which are followed by the stabilization simulation.
