The sea-ice loss in the Bering Strait experiment is relatively high
Although the ocean heat transport (OHT) at the Bering Strait is relatively small compared to the one at the Barents Sea Opening (BSO), i.e. 4.5 times lower in our control run, the impact of the Bering Strait experiments on sea-ice loss is relatively high compared to the BSO experiment (Figs. 3-4 and 11-13 of the Atlantic and Pacific SST experiments). The OHT at the Bering Strait increases by 35% (Fig. 7 bottom panel of the Atlantic and Pacific SST experiments) and the AMOC slightly increases (Fig. 10 bottom panel of the Atlantic and Pacific SST experiments) in the Bering Strait experiments, while the OHT at the BSO increases only by 13% (Fig. 6 top panel of the Atlantic and Pacific SST experiments).
