Figure 2 -Figure 2 presents the bottom topography, position of summer and winter ice extents, and
polar front |

Plate 1 -The winter thermal barrier is presented in Plate 1 |
|
|
Plate 2 -Winter thermal barrier depends predominantly on the thickness of the pycnocline (...) with
~48% of its variance attributed to this specific water column characteristic. |

|
Plate 3 -The total amount of salt required to eliminate the winter surface freshwater content ... |
|
|
Plate 4 -Estimate of that portion of the salt deficit which is eliminated by non-ice related sources
of salt ,SE, is shown in Plate 4. |

Plate 5 -Application of the SE correction to the total salt deficit,..., gives the corrected winter
salt deficit, SD< W > (Plate 5) |
