 **Results** show that:
 - Fig. 1: the mean Atlantic OHT increases north of 60N in all experiments (with a more pronounced increase in the case of the North Atlantic experiment), decreases south of 60N in the 'wider domain' experiments (North Atlantic, northern North Atlantic, North Pacific and Northeastern Pacific) and increases south of 60N in the BSO and Bering Strait experiments;
 - Fig. 2: the spatial extent of the SST increase follows the domain used for the SST restoring, with a larger spatial extent in the SST experiments with the larger domain; also, the spatial distribution of the SST increase (averaged over 50 years) is not solely restricted to the North Pacific in the Pacific SST experiments (bottom row);
+- Fig. 3: the Arctic sea-ice area decreases in all experiments, with a much more pronounced decrease in the 2 wider domain experiments (North Atlantic and North Pacific experiments; the decrease is quantitatively similar in these 2 experiments); the sea-ice area decrease in the Bering Strait experiment is stronger than in the northeastern Pacific experiment;
