FESOM model results

control: the hindcast simulation using interannually varying atmospheric forcing (IAVF).

AO: In the Arctic Ocean the IAVF is used. Outside the Arctic Ocean the normal year forcing (NYF) is used. The NYF is repeatedly used for every year.

nAO:In the Arctic Ocean the NYF is used. Outside the Arctic Ocean the IAVF is used.

AO_w: the same as AO but the atmospheric buoyancy forcing in the Arctic Ocean is changed to the NYF.

nAO_w: the same as nAO but the atmospheric buoyancy forcing outside the Arctic Ocean is changed to the NYF.

vtransp: volume transport through Bering Strait.

fwtransp: freshwater transport through Bering Strait.

Htransp: heat transport through Bering Strait.

slp_yr: annual mean sea level pressure.

ssh_yr: annual mean sea surface high.

Ekmantransp_tx: Ekman transport component in the x direction.

Ekmantransp_ty: Ekman transport component in the y direction.

min: years with low Bering Strait throughflow.

max: years with high Bering Strait throughflow.

temp_diff_0-50m: the difference of temperature between years with high and low Bering Strait throughflow.

salt_diff_0-50m: the difference of salinity between years with high and low Bering Strait throughflow.
