Figure 2. Map of monthly
average SSTs in the Arctic Ocean ecoregions for September 2009. Figure
2A is raster format
data, figure 2B is point shapefile format data. The absence of data at
the pole approximately corresponds to the sea ice coverage for September
2009
(Fetterer and others, 2002, updated 2009). |

distance cluster diagram for Arctic Ocean ecoregions based on 29-year
mean, minimum, maximum, annual range and annual variance of SST.
The red boxes denote clusters where p > 0.95. |
