Fig. 6

a Bathymetry in the abyss (m) from the Control simulation. Pink line in a represents the 1000 m isobath. Pink vectors denote offshore transport. b Net offshore transport across the 1000 m isobath, cumulatively summed in \({\sigma }_{1}\) space from high to low density from (black) Control, (orange) 2×CO2, (red) 4×CO2 simulations. The gray vertical line indicates the density threshold of DSW in the Control simulation. Positive and negative values mean offshore and onshore transport, respectively.
