MATLAB code to build a schematic diagram of Arctic Ocean freshwater storage and fluxes. Data taken from Jahn & Laiho (2020) and Haine et al. (2015), plus updates.
Run MATLAB codes as follows:
Run flux_update.m to make a diagnostic figure of freshwater fluxes from Haine et al. (2015), plus recent public data updates. This builds the .mat file used in the main script.
Run make_LFC_map.m to make the liquid freshwater content basemap adapted from Haine et al. (2015) Fig. 6.
Run schematic_figure.m to read Alex Jahn's CESM data from Jahn & Laiho (2020) and make the subplots for the schematic figure (six .eps files).
Use Mac keynote to build schematic.key and hence schematic.pdf using the component figure files.
The MATLAB code uses Gibbs-Seawater (GSW) Oceanographic Toolbox functions.
A commentary article entitled Arctic Ocean Freshening Linked to Anthropogenic Climate Change: All Hands on Deck has been submitted to GRL.
