Scale dependence of the marine atmospheric boundary‐layer response to ocean surface‐temperature variability in the EUREC4$$ {\mathrm{EUREC}}^4 $$A region

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
With a minimal physics model and a high‐resolution fully 3D simulation, we demonstrate that the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) response to sea‐surface temperature (SST) variability displays a dependence on the horizontal scales of motion.

A monitoring design for the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2003
Current hydrographic data can provide snapshots but no continuous timeseries of the meridional overturning circulation (MOC). Using output from two eddy‐permitting numerical ocean models we test the feasibility of a monitoring system for the MOC in the North Atlantic.

Decadal variability of the subtropical gyre and deep meridional overturning circulation of the Indian Ocean [PDF]

, 2005
The work presented in this Thesis concerns the large-scale circulation of the Indian Ocean and follows three lines of investigation: (i) decadal variability of the subtropical gyre circulation; (ii) decadal variability of the deep meridional overturning ...

Dissolved Organic Carbon in the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2016
AbstractThe quantitative role of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) export is evaluated by combining DOC measurements with observed water mass transports. In the eastern subpolar North Atlantic, both upper and lower limbs of the AMOC transport high-DOC waters.

Asymmetry in the effect of North Atlantic sea surface temperature on the eddy‐driven jet

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Projections of climate over Europe and the Atlantic are uncertain due to the uncertainty surrounding future changes in North Atlantic sea surface temperatures (SSTs). Here, we demonstrate that warming in the North Atlantic Ocean is linked to a transition to a negative phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation, as well as to an equatorward displacement of

Equatorial Atlantic mid-depth warming indicates Atlantic meridional overturning circulation slowdown

Communications Earth & Environment
Climate models project an Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation slowdown under anthropogenic greenhouse warming. Despite a ~1.5 °C increase in the global mean surface temperature, debate remains on whether and when this circulation has slowed. Here

Surface‐Forced Variability in the Nordic Seas Overturning Circulation and Overflows

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Water mass transformation in the Nordic Seas and the associated overflow of dense waters across the Greenland‐Scotland Ridge (GSR) acts to maintain the lower limb of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation.

Spontaneous zonal symmetry breaking of tropical rain belt

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Precipitable‐water snapshots show how a sea surface temperature (SST)‐forced tropical rain belt can remain zonally elongated or spontaneously reorganize into a localized convective cluster. The simulations identify the SST conditions favoring this zonal convective self‐aggregation and relate the transition to changes in boundary‐layer circulation and ...

Variability of Antarctic Bottom Water at 24.5°N in the Atlantic [PDF]

, 2011
A recent hydrographic section at 24.5°N in the Atlantic and 6 months of observations from a moored array show that Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW), the densest and deepest water mass in the world oceans, has been warming. While Johnson et al. (2008) showed

Greenland Melt and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation [PDF]

Oceanography, 2016
More than a decade of observations of the meridional overturning circulation in the subtropical North Atlantic show it to be highly variable on time scales of days to years and with an overall trend toward slowing down. Over the same time period, melting
