In this set of experiments, I restored the sea-surface temperature (SST) in a selected region to a certain value and compared the results of these sensitivity experiments to a control run. The control run starts from the year 2014 of the CMIP6 EC-Earth3-Veg r1 historical member, uses a 2000-year constant atmospheric forcing and is 200 years long. The sensitivity experiments all start from the year 2130 of the control run (year 117 if we consider the starting year to be 1) and are 50 years long.

Based on the SST restoring information, the model computes the corresponding surface heat flux correction in the domain of interest. More information about the methodology can be found in [Ruprich-Robert et al. (2017)](https://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/full/10.1175/JCLI-D-16-0127.1).

Additionally, I have applied the same methodology to 3 different domains in the North Pacific Ocean:
|
|
|
1) North Pacific, between 30N (latitude of northern Mexico) and 66N (latitude of Bering Strait) and between 120E (longitude of eastern China) and 120W (longitude of western USA)

2) Northeastern Pacific, between 40N (latitude of northern California) and 50N (latitude of southern Canada) and between 180W (longitude of Central Pacific) and 120W (longitude of western USA)

3) Bering Strait, between 64N and 67N and between 172W and 166W.

For the 3 Pacific SST experiments, I have applied a SST restoring similar as for the Atlantic SST experiments using an increase in SST of 3°C.

Below, I focus on the 9 Atlantic SST experiments. To see the results comparing Atlantic and Pacific SST experiments, go to [Atlantic and Pacific SST experiments](Atlantic and Pacific SST Global experiments).

- **t613 (red solid curve, run by K. Wyser)** is the CMIP6 EC-Earth3-Veg r1 historical member covering 1850-2014 (only the period 1950-2014 is shown here);

- **D000 (blue solid curve)** is the **control** run starting from year 2014 of the t613 experiment with 2000-year constant atmospheric forcing; this control run is 200 years long; all the sensitivity experiments start in year 2130 of this control run (year 117 if we consider the starting year to be 1) and are 50 years long;
