Fig. 1 — Sea ice may converge or diverge under a stationary SLP anomaly according to the cross-isobaric angle of flow. Diagram schematically depicts BG region, as indicated by black box. Blue arrows indicate ice motion. Whether sea ice flow is solenoidal, divergent, convergent is indicated in italics. Dashed magenta line outlines the scenarios we explore experimentally in Sect. 3.2. BGP stands for Beaufort Gyre Plus, the anticylonic wind anomaly experiment; BGM stands for Beaufort Gyre Minus, the cyclonic wind anomaly experiment; these experiments are introduced in Sect. 2.2
