Fig. 7: Sea ice volume (SIV) tendency anomalies and near-surface ocean conditions in the Weddell (Wed) Sea.
From: Decadal Sea Ice Prediction in the West Antarctic Seas with Ocean and Sea Ice Initializations
a Time series of sea ice volume (SIV) tendency anomalies (Total; black in 10−11 m3 s−1) and its zonal (Znl; red), meridional (Mrd; blue) and residual (Rsd; green) components (see Eq. (1) in Methods) in the Weddell (Wed; 60°−0°W, 65°−55°S) Sea for the SIR experiment predicted from March 1st 2008. We calculated the anomalies with respect to the period of 1982–2018. b Same as in a, but for sea ice zonal and meridional current velocity (Ice U and V; in 10−2 m s−1) anomalies in the Wed region. c 10-yr mean of the upper 50-m potential density, zonal and meridional current velocity anomalies predicted from March 1st 2008 in the SIR experiment. A black box indicates the Wed region. d Same as in c, but for the upper 50-m ocean salinity (S; in 10−1 PSU) anomalies.
