Sea ice–air interactions amplify multidecadal variability in the North Atlantic and Arctic region
Nature Communications, 2022 Sea ice–air interactions greatly amplify multidecadal variability in Arctic air temperatures and sea ice cover, North Atlantic sea surface temperatures, and Atlantic meridional overturning circulation through changes in surface fluxes.

The observed North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, its Meridional Coherence and Ocean Bottom Pressure [PDF]
, 2014 Analyses of meridional transport time series from the Rapid Climate Change–Meridional Overturning Circulation (RAPID MOC) array at 26°N and from Argo float and altimetry data at 41°N reveal that, at semiannual and longer time scales, the contribution ...

The potential of Hudson Valley glacial floods to drive abrupt climate change
Communications Earth & Environment, 2021 Drainage of Glacial Lake Iroquois via the Hudson Valley about 13,300 years ago did not weaken the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation substantially, suggests a suite of simulations with a global-ocean general circulation model.

Mid-Pliocene Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation simulated in PlioMIP2 [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2021 In the Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project Phase 2 (PlioMIP2), coupled climate models have been used to simulate an interglacial climate during the mid-Piacenzian warm period (mPWP; 3.264 to 3.025 Ma).

Meridional coherence of the North Atlantic meridional overturning circulation [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2007 The North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) is associated with deep water formation at high latitudes, and climatically‐important ocean‐atmosphere heat fluxes, hence the current substantial effort to monitor the MOC. While it is expected that, on sufficiently long time scales, variations in the MOC would be coherent across latitudes ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 It has been suggested that freshwater transports by the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in the South Atlantic may be a useful metric for determining the stability of the AMOC because it can lead to feedbacks onto North Atlantic ...

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page i-xiv., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Discovery and quantification of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: the importance of 25N [PDF]
, 2007 Here we present a review of the history of modern understanding of the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC), which arguably originates in 1957.

The Influence of a Weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation on ENSO [PDF]
Journal of Climate, 2007 Abstract The influences of a substantial weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) on the tropical Pacific climate mean state, the annual cycle, and ENSO variability are studied using five different coupled general circulation models (CGCMs). In the CGCMs, a substantial weakening of the AMOC is induced by adding
