Meridional Connectivity of a 25-Year Observational AMOC Record at 47°N
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Since climate model studies project a decline of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in the 21st century, monitoring AMOC changes remains essential.

Abrupt Gulf Stream path changes are a precursor to a collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation [PDF]
Communications Earth & EnvironmentThe Gulf Stream is part of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The AMOC is a tipping element and may collapse under changing forcing. However, the role of the Gulf Stream in such a tipping event is unknown.

Impacts and State-Dependence of AMOC Weakening in a Warming Climate
Geophysical Research LettersAll climate models project a weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) strength in response to greenhouse gas forcing. However, the climate impacts of the AMOC decline alone cannot be isolated from other drivers of climate ...

Centennial-scale intensifications of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation during Heinrich Stadial 1 [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsCentennial-scale changes in Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) strength might disturb global climate by altering interhemispheric heat transport and CO2 partitioning between the ocean and the atmosphere.

Southern Ocean influence on Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation across climate states [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsVarious proxy data agree on a shallow Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) during the last glacial maximum (LGM), extending down to 2000 m − 2500 m depth, which is similar to the AMOC geometry projected by climate models over the 21st ...

A 30-year reconstruction of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation shows no decline [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2021 A decline in Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) strength has been observed between 2004 and 2012 by the RAPID-MOCHA-WBTS (RAPID – Meridional Overturning Circulation and Heatflux Array – Western Boundary Time Series, hereafter RAPID array)

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and its Hypothetical Collapse
Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2022 Collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is often invoked as an explanation of major past climate changes and as a major risk for future climate.
