- Fig. 8: the OHT at the Fram Strait generally increases in the wide and middle domain experiments, but with much lower amplitude compared to the increased OHT at the BSO and Bering Strait.

- Fig. 9: the annual mean AMOC index at 26.5N decreases in the wide and middle domain experiments, which partly explains the decreased OHT south of 60N;

- Fig. 10: the Atlantic meridional stream function (AMSF) strongly decreases in the 2 wide domain experiments (left column), decreases in the 2 middle domain experiments (middle column), doesn't change much in the BSO experiment (top right panel) and increases in the Bering Strait experiment (bottom right panel); interestingly, in the wide domain experiments (left column), the AMSF increases in the upper layers north of 60N, which is in agreement with the increased OHT north of 60N (Fig. 1); the overall AMSF decrease in the first 2 columns is in agreement with the reduced convection already identified in the mixed layer depth in Fig. 8 of the Atlantic [SST restoring experiments](SST restoring experiments).
