Figure 5. Temporal development of mean sea temperature in degrees Celsius in a) the upper 200 m along the Kola meridian transect in the south-central Barents Sea and b) in the upper 100 m of the Atlantic Ocean from the equator to the polar circle. Please note the difference in scale between the y-axes in a) and b). The temperature increase in the Barents Sea over the last decades is ca twice of that in the northern Atlantic.
