Here are the different model experiments with the corresponding color in the plots below:
|
|
|
- **D000 (blue solid curve)** is the **control** run;
|
|
|
- **D012 (purple dashed curve)** is the experiment in which the SST is restored to the mean climatology increased by 3°C in the North Atlantic Ocean (40-80N, 40W-20E);
|
|
|
- **D015 (red dashed curve)** is the experiment in which the SST is restored to the mean climatology increased by 3°C in the northern North Atlantic Ocean (66-80N, 22W-20E);
|
|
|
- **D018 (light pink dashed curve)** is the experiment in which the SST is restored to the mean climatology increased by 3°C at the Barents Sea Opening (70-77N, 16-20E);
|
|
|
- **D021 (purple dashed curve)** is the experiment in which the SST is restored to the mean climatology increased by 3°C in the North Pacific Ocean (30-66N, 120E-120W);
|
|
|
- **D022 (red dashed curve)** is the experiment in which the SST is restored to the mean climatology increased by 3°C in the northern Northeastern Pacific Ocean (40-50N, 180W-120W);
|
|
|
- **D023 (light pink dashed curve)** is the experiment in which the SST is restored to the mean climatology increased by 3°C at the Bering Strait (64-67N, 172-166W).
|
|
|
- **D012 (purple dashed curve)** is the experiment in which the SST is restored to the mean climatology increased by 3°C in the North Atlantic Ocean (40-80N, 40W-20E); this is the wide Atlantic experiment;
|
|
|
- **D015 (red dashed curve)** is the experiment in which the SST is restored to the mean climatology increased by 3°C in the northern North Atlantic Ocean (66-80N, 22W-20E); this is the middle Atlantic experiment;
|
|
|
- **D018 (light pink dashed curve)** is the experiment in which the SST is restored to the mean climatology increased by 3°C at the Barents Sea Opening (70-77N, 16-20E); this is the small Atlantic experiment;
|
|
|
- **D021 (purple dashed curve)** is the experiment in which the SST is restored to the mean climatology increased by 3°C in the North Pacific Ocean (30-66N, 120E-120W); this is the wide Pacific experiment;
|

- **D022 (red dashed curve)** is the experiment in which the SST is restored to the mean climatology increased by 3°C in the northern Northeastern Pacific Ocean (40-50N, 180W-120W); this is the middle Pacific experiment;

**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;
