- **D009 (brown dashed curve)** starts in year 2130 of the control run; the only change compared to the control run is the **surface minimum value of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE)**, which is **2 times higher**;

- **D010 (yellow dashed curve)** starts in year 2130 of the control run; this experiment **combines** the changes of experiments D004 (bottom drag x 2), D008 (horizontal diffusivity x 2) and D009 (min. value of TKE x 2).

I also plot **observations and reanalysis as solid black curves** in my sea-ice plots, in order to compare the model outputs to the 'real world'.

- decreasing the horizontal eddy viscosity leads to reduced mean poleward Atlantic ocean heat transport (OHT) at all latitudes (Fig. 1), although the OHT is increased during some specific years when looking at specific latitudes, e.g. 60N (Fig. 2A) and 70N (Fig. 2B);
|
|
|
|
- decreasing the horizontal eddy viscosity leads to an increase in Arctic sea-ice area and volume in the beginning followed by a decrease afterwards in D002, while these quantities are generally decreased in D003 (Figs. 3 and 4);
|
|
|
|
- increasing the bottom drag coefficient leads to an increase in the Atlantic OHT (Figs. 1 and 2), and leads to different results in terms of Arctic sea ice depending on the magnitude of the increase (decrease in D004 and increase in D005) (Figs. 3 and 4);
