Three global climate simulations from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment (AR4) were used as physical forcing to drive a regional model that includes both physical and biological elements of the Bering Sea. Although each downscaled projection indicates a warming of 1–2 °C between 2010 and 2040 on the Bering Sea shelf, the interannual and interdecadal details of this trend vary considerably among the three...
