- 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);

- Figs. 3 and 4: the Arctic sea-ice area and volume decrease in all experiments, with a much more pronounced decrease in the 2 wide 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;

|
|
- Fig. 5: the total OHT through all Arctic straits increases in all experiments, again with a much more pronounced increase in the 2 wide domain experiments; the OHT increase in the Bering Strait experiment is stronger than in the northeastern Pacific experiment, in agreement with the sea-ice area/volume results;

- Fig. 6: the OHT at the BSO increases in all experiments, but much more clearly in the North Atlantic experiment;
|
|
|
- Fig. 7: the OHT at the Bering Strait increases in all experiments, but more markedly in the North Pacific and Bering Strait experiments;
|
|
|
- Fig. 8: the OHT at the Fran 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.
