Fig. 3: Ocean properties on the Greenland shelf (mooring F14 at 6.5°W).
From: Upper ocean warming and sea ice reduction in the East Greenland Current from 2003 to 2019
a Ocean temperature and b ocean salinity at a target depth of 55 m from the mooring. Dashed straight lines mark the linear trend in summer (July–August–September), solid straight lines mark the trend in winter (January–February–March). The gray line in (a) shows the mean seasonal cycle from 2003 to 2009. Seasonal cycle for c temperature, and d practical salinity at 55 m from the mooring. The gray shaded areas in (c) and (d) mark the mean ±1 standard deviation from 2003 to 2009, colored lines show individual years when the summer ocean temperature at 55 m was larger than the 2003–2009 JAS mean. Vertical profiles of e temperature and f practical salinity from Aug/Sep on this site for the same years as in (c, d). The gray shaded area marks the mean ± 1 std from 2003–2009, vertical dashed lines mark the 2003−2009 mean temperature and practical salinity at 55 m, respectively, horizontal solid lines mark 55 m depth (corresponding with the target depth from which panels (a–d) are shown).
