Extended Data Fig. 6: Temporal change (climate change) in the spatial distribution of the average DICREMIN below 100 m.

Extended Data Fig. 6

This map shows a dipole structure between the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic Ocean. The Arctic Ocean is losing DICREMIN while the North Atlantic is gaining DICREMIN. The European Arctic Corridor is the major gateway where 80% of all water masses which enter or leave the Arctic Ocean take place. This analysis demonstrates that the negative DICREMIN anomaly in the Arctic Ocean is produced locally and not imported from adjacent Seas. By contrast, the Arctic Ocean is exporting southward negative DICREMIN anomalies to the North Atlantic.
