DESCRIPTION:Title\n\nStudying the importance of Arctic gateways by using a 
 fully coupled ice-ocean model\n\nAbstract\n\nStudying the Arctic Ocean\, a
 s an important component of the climate system\, is a challenge because of
  the presence of sea-ice\, multiple gateways\, and interaction with the At
 lantic Ocean\, Pacific Ocean and ice-sheets. The fluxes of heat and freshw
 ater through the Arctic gateways have been suggested to change in the futu
 re which can in turn affect the distribution of the Arctic sea-ice\, and a
 lter the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. Here we intend to un
 derstand the relative importance of the Bering Strait and the Canadian Arc
 tic Archipelago (CAA) in transporting heat and freshwater fluxes\, and the
  corresponding regions where they affect the most. We use a regional confi
 guration of the fully coupled ice-ocean model\, NEMO (Nucleus for European
  Modelling of the Ocean model) version 3.4 for a set of sensitivity experi
 ments with various gateway configurations inspired by paleogeometries of t
 he Arctic. In order to reduce the degrees of freedom introduced by the pre
 sence of multiple straits in the system\, we compare our model scenarios w
 ith the case in which both Bering and CAA are closed. We show that CAA and
  Bering Strait have nearly opposite impact on the Arctic Sea ice. While th
 e impact of CAA is more limited to the Arctic\, the Bering Strait affects 
 the Atlantic Ocean and plays a role in its zonal density gradient. The res
 ults will allow us to better understand the impacts caused by modulation o
 f the Bering Strait and CAA fluxes\, and better founded predictions of fut
 ure changes.\n
