Fig. 1: The study area and data selection criteria.

From: Interplay of atmosphere and ocean amplifies summer marine extremes in the Barents Sea at different timescales

Fig. 1

a Bathymetry40 of the study area, with (gray shading) the boundaries of the Barents Sea Large Marine Ecosystem39 and (white shading) the area discarded due to partial sea ice cover above 15% sea ice concentration. Additionally, the Barents Sea Opening (BSO; black dotted line) and the region of the southeastern Barents Sea (seBS; the solid black line) that is used for further analysis related to the composites in Fig. 5. The southeastern Barents Sea is also marked in b and c (solid black lines). b Time-mean sea surface temperatures. c Annual mean trend of sea surface temperatures. d Monthly sea-ice fraction of the full Barents Sea Large Marine Ecosystem (blue) and daily sea surface temperatures from July to October (orange) for the ice-free regions (<15% sea-ice concentration) as shown in a–c; the shading represents the percentage of data (e.g., 50% data implies data between the 25th and 75th percentiles of the time series distribution).
