Fig. 6: Relationship with winter-time sea-surface temperature (SST).
From: Upper ocean warming and sea ice reduction in the East Greenland Current from 2003 to 2019
a Correlation map of monthly SST anomaly with monthly ocean temperature (T) anomaly at 55 m in the eastern EGC (F11, red diamond) where SST leads by 1 month, for months when the seasonal T anomaly at 55 m from the mooring exceeded 1 standard deviation. Thin gray contour east of F11 marks the area with p-value < 0.05. The light gray area west of F11 marks the sea ice cover covering the EGC and the Greenland shelf in January 2018. b Time series of SST anomaly at 2°E, T anomaly at 55 m from mooring F11, and Effective Sea Ice Thickness (ESIT) at the F11 site for extended winter periods (NDJFMA).
