are shown in the labeling of the curves. The black curve is the AMOC strength of the reference simulation.
Figure 2. Mean of model years 1–96 for the reference simulation: (a) kinetic energy (mean over the upper 50 m), (b) potential density (average over the upper 50 m), (c) temperature (mean over the upper 50 m), (d) salinity (mean over the upper 50 m), (e) maximum mixed layer depth in March, and (f) pattern of the AMOC.
Figure 3. Mean of model year 45 for the simulation: (a) kinetic energy (mean over the upper 50 m), (b) potential density (average over the upper 50 m), (c) temperature (mean over the upper 50 m), (d) salinity (mean over the upper 50 m), (e) maximum mixed layer depth in March, and (f) pattern of the AMOC.
