In addition, the legend of Figure 3 is incorrect:

“Atmospheric response under the 2017–18 sea-ice boundary condition by a numerical simulation in the lower troposphere. (a) Atmospheric deviation fields in February when sea-ice boundary condition over a specific region is set in 2017–18 from those of 1983–84. (a) Bering-Chukchi region, (b) Barents-Kara region, (c) Greenland-Hudson Bay region, (d) the sea ice of all the three regions is set in 2017–18.”

Finally, the legend of Figure 4 is incorrect:

“Atmospheric response under the 2017–18 sea-ice boundary condition by a numerical simulation in the middle troposphere. (a) Atmospheric deviation fields in February when sea-ice boundary condition over a specific region is set in 2017–18 from those of 1983–84. (a) Bering-Chukchi region, (b) Barents-Kara region, (c) Greenland-Hudson Bay region, (d) the sea ice of all the three regions is set in 2017–18.”
