An assessment of the Arctic Ocean in a suite of interannual CORE-II simulations. Part III: Hydrography and fluxes

•We compare the simulated Arctic Ocean in 15 global ocean–sea ice models.•There is a large spread in temperature bias in the Arctic Ocean between the models.•Warm bias models have a strong temperature anomaly of inflow of Atlantic Water.•Dense outflows formed on Arctic shelves are not captured accur...
