Time series of DSL in a the KE recirculation (20° N–35° N, 140° E–160° E) and b KE (33° N–37° N, 140° E–150° E) for faf-stress experiment (green lines), faf-heat experiment (red lines), and faf-water experiment (blue lines). The red dotted line in a shows the time average of the faf-heat experiment between years 30 and 90 (6.5 cm). The green dotted line in b indicates the time average of the faf-stress experiment between years 20 and 90 (2.7 cm). The shaded areas in the upper panels indicate the range of piControl. c The DSL change (black line), the thermosteric sea level change (red line), and the Sverdrup transport stream function (dotted sky-blue line) in the KE recirculation for the faf-heat experiment. d The changes in the DSL (black line) and the Sverdrup transport stream function (dotted sky-blue line) in the KE for the faf-stress experiment. e, f Same as a and b, respectively, but for the ensemble mean of MIROC5.2. The red dotted line in e shows the time average of the faf-heat experiment between years 30 and 70 (6.1 cm). The green dotted line in f indicates the time average of the faf-stress experiment between years 20 and 70 (2.1 cm)
