26. Dynamics of the Beaufort Gyre Fresh Water Content (FWC) since the 1990s. Panel A: BG region and FWC in the 1990s. Black box depicts BG region location. FWC (m) is shown by colors. Panel B: BG FWC time-series (thousand km3). Note that for 1950-1990, bars show decadal data but since 2003 the height of the bars indicates late summer-fall FWC in the BG region from CTDs. Panels C – H: FWC (m) distributions in 2003, 2006, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Mean error in FWC estimation is ~0.5 m.
