Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation slowdown cooled the subtropical ocean [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2013
Observations show that the upper 2 km of the subtropical North Atlantic Ocean cooled throughout 2010 and remained cold until at least December 2011. We show that these cold anomalies are partly driven by anomalous air-sea exchange during the cold winters

Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: Observed Transport and Variability [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) extends from the Southern Ocean to the northern North Atlantic, transporting heat northwards throughout the South and North Atlantic, and sinking carbon and nutrients into the deep ocean.

Warning of a forthcoming collapse of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2023
Abstract The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a major tipping element in the climate system and a future collapse would have severe impacts on the climate in the North Atlantic region. In recent years weakening in circulation has been reported, but assessments by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), based

Buoyancy forcing and the subpolar Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. [PDF]

Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2023
The North Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and its variability are examined in terms of the overturning in density space and diapycnal water mass transformation. The magnitude of the mean overturning is similar to the surface water mass transformation, but the density and properties of these waters are modified by diapycnal mixing.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation in High‐Resolution Models [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2020
AbstractThe Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) represents the zonally integrated stream function of meridional volume transport in the Atlantic Basin. The AMOC plays an important role in transporting heat meridionally in the climate system.

On the stability of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009
One of the most important large-scale ocean current systems for Earth's climate is the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). Here we review its stability properties and present new model simulations to study the AMOC's hysteresis response to freshwater perturbations. We employ seven different versions of an Ocean General Circulation Model

Projected Atlantic overturning slow-down is to be compensated by a strengthened South Atlantic subtropical gyre

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
Large ensemble simulations project an intensification of the South Atlantic subtropical gyre with reduced water supply to the North Atlantic due to a weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and changes in atmospheric forcing.

Mixing and Geometry in the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Abstract Vertical motions across the ocean are central to processes, like CO 2 fixation, heat removal or pollutant transport, which are essential to the Earth's climate. This work explores 3D conveyor routes associated with the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation ...
