Fig. 8. Time series of mean ocean temperature and salinity in the mixed layer (25 m depth) and at 2000 m depth of
the North Atlantic Ocean (north of30° N, solid curve), the central Atlantic between 30° Nand 30° S (dashed curve)
and the Southern Oceans south of 30° S (dotted curve). Shown are differences between the spin-up ocean model
run and an experiment with the periodically-synchronously coupled model simulating the recent climate without
flux adjustments.
