Fig. 4: The vertical ocean structure and its sensitivity to PLs.
From: The impact of polar lows on the underlying ocean varies significantly by location
Vertical profiles of (Top) mean potential temperature (purple dashed line) and (Bottom) mean Brunt–Väisälä frequency (purple dashed line) over the last 5 years of simulation (2016–2020) for different regions (see Fig. 1): a, f Northeast Atlantic Ocean; b, g Labrador and Irminger Sea; c, h Northwest Pacific; d, i Southeast Pacific; e, j South Indian Ocean. Differences among experiments in potential temperature and Brunt–Väisälä frequency are shown for CTRL minus noPL (navy line), PLwind minus noPL (orange line), and PLwater minus noPL (sky blue line).
