Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is stable under global warming.
Many new studies have been published supporting the hypothesis that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is experiencing a slowdown. These studies are based on proxies, climatemodel predictions, or a combination of both. The latest work (1) is only based on predictions. The AMOC is allegedly slowing down at an increased rate because of the Arctic ice melting as predicted by cl...
متن کاملSouthern Ocean control of glacial AMOC stability and Dansgaard-Oeschger interstadial duration
Glacial periods exhibit abrupt Dansgaard-Oeschger (DO) climatic oscillations that are thought to be linked to instabilities in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). Great uncertainty remains regarding the dynamics of the DO cycle, as well as controls on the timing and duration of individual events. Using ice core data we show that the duration of warm (interstadial) periods is...
متن کاملTiming and nature of AMOC recovery across Termination 2 and magnitude of deglacial CO2 change
Large amplitude variations in atmospheric CO2 were associated with glacial terminations of the Late Pleistocene. Here we provide multiple lines of evidence suggesting that the ∼20 p.p.m.v. overshoot in CO2 at the end of Termination 2 (T2) ∼129 ka was associated with an abrupt (≤400 year) deepening of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). In contrast to Termination 1 (T1), which wa...
متن کاملThe last glacial cycle: transient simulations with an AOGCM
A number of transient climate runs simulating the last 120 kyr have been carried out using FAMOUS, a fast atmosphere–ocean general circulation model (AOGCM). This is the first time such experiments have been done with a full AOGCM, providing a three-dimensional simulation of both atmosphere and ocean over this period. Our simulation thus includes internally generated temporal variability over p...
متن کاملMultiyear prediction of monthly mean Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation at 26.5°N.
Attempts to predict changes in Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) have yielded little success to date. Here, we demonstrate predictability for monthly mean AMOC strength at 26.5°N for up to 4 years in advance. This AMOC predictive skill arises predominantly from the basin-wide upper-mid-ocean geostrophic transport, which in turn can be predicted because we have skill in predicti...
