 - 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);
-- Fig. 11: the March sea-ice concentration spatial patern loss is relatively similar between the Atlantic and Pacific SST experiments, with higher loss at the sea-ice edge, with a more pronounced loss at the Atlantic (Pacific resp.) side in the Atlantic (Pacific resp.) experiments;
-- Fig. 12: the March sea-ice thickness spatial pattern loss is relatively similar between the Atlantic and Pacific SST experiments, with loss everywhere in the Arctic;

+- Fig. 12: the March sea-ice thickness spatial pattern loss is relatively similar between the wide/middle/small Atlantic and Pacific SST experiments, with loss everywhere in the Arctic;
 - Fig. 13: the September sea-ice concentration spatial pattern loss is relatively similar between the wide/middle/small domain Atlantic and Pacific SST experiments;

+- Fig. 14: the March sea-surface salinity (SSS) spatial pattern is relatively similar between the wide/middle domain Atlantic and Pacific SST experiments, with surface freshening in the western Arctic and northern North Atlantic and surface salinization in the eastern Arctic (similar as the PRIMAVERA coupled sea-ice loss experiments);
+- Fig. 15: the March sea-level pressure (SLP) spatial pattern shows differences between experiments, but the SLP increases over NW Europe / GIN Seas and over the Bering Sea, while it decreases over North America and central Asia.
