a, d, g SSH principal components (PCs; black) derived from CSEOF compared with volume transport (red) through the Bering Strait (a), the Barents Sea Opening (d), and the Fram Starit (g). Correlation coefficients (cc), calculated after detrending the timeseries, are indicated. b, e, h Regression of SSH anomalies onto transport anomalies (units: m Sv−1). c, f, i Regression of current anomalies (shading) and current vectors onto transport anomalies (units: m s−1 Sv−1). Black lines denote the locations of transport sections.
