Observation-based temperature and freshwater noise over the Atlantic Ocean by A. A. Boot, H. A. Dijkstra, H. A. Dijkstra

“…., noise, can influence long-term ocean variability and might even affect the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). Often this noise is assumed to be Gaussian, but detailed analyses of its statistics appear to be lacking. …”

Orbital and suborbital temperature variability in the central Mediterranean across the Pliocene/Pleistocene transition. by Elena Zanola, Teresa Rodrigues, Sergio Bonomo, Patrizia Ferretti, Eliana Fornaciari, Agata Di Stefano, Alessandro Incarbona, Nereo Preto, Isabella Raffi, Luca Capraro

“…This high frequency climatic instability, a prominent feature of the early Gelasian, might reflect episodic events of massive disruption of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation with increased production of cold, low-salinity water masses in the North Atlantic. …”

Atlantic overturning inferred from air-sea heat fluxes indicates no decline since the 1960s by Jens Terhaar, Linus Vogt, Nicholas P. Foukal

“…Abstract The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is crucial for global ocean carbon and heat uptake, and controls the climate around the North Atlantic. …”

Tipping point-induced abrupt shifts in East Asian hydroclimate since the Last Glacial Maximum by Fuzhi Lu, Huayu Lu, Yao Gu, Pengyu Lin, Zhengyao Lu, Qiong Zhang, Hongyan Zhang, Fan Yang, Xiaoyi Dong, Shuangwen Yi, Deliang Chen, Francesco S. R. Pausata, Maya Ben-Yami, Jennifer V. Mecking

“…Combined with multi-model simulations and existing records, we attribute these tipping points to cascades of abrupt shifts in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) and Saharan vegetation. …”

Data and models reveal humid environmental conditions during MIS 3 in two of the world’s largest deserts by Lézine, Anne-Marie, Kageyama, Masa, Bassinot, Franck

“…The mechanisms driving MIS 3 humidity in our study area involve global cooling factors such as greenhouse concentrations and ice volume, which have impacted available moisture, orbital forcing, which impacts monsoon circulation and amplitude and sensitivity to the state of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC).…”

Global Marine Ecosystem Response to a Strong AMOC Weakening Under Low and High Future Emission Scenarios by A. A. Boot, J. Steenbeek, M. Coll, A. S. von derHeydt, H. A. Dijkstra

“…Climate change increases the risk of passing tipping points; for example, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) might tip under future global warming leading to additional changes in the climate system. …”

Asynchronicity of deglacial permafrost thawing controlled by millennial-scale climate variability by Xinwei Yan, Xu Zhang, Bo Liu, Huw T. Mithan, John Hellstrom, Sophie Nuber, Russell Drysdale, Junjie Wu, Fangyuan Lin, Ning Zhao, Yuao Zhang, Wengang Kang, Jianbao Liu

“…We find that, unlike circumarctic permafrost, TP permafrost generally initiates thawing at the onset of deglaciations, coinciding with Weak Monsoon Intervals and sluggish Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) during Terminal Stadials. …”

The impact of a weakened AMOC on European heatwaves by Virna L Meccia, Claudia Simolo, Katinka Bellomo, Susanna Corti

“…In this study, we examine how the weakening of the atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) may influence the occurrence of extreme warm events in Europe. …”

Long-term variability and trends in the Agulhas Leakage and its impacts on the global overturning by H. Großelindemann, H. Großelindemann, F. S. Castruccio, G. Danabasoglu, A. Biastoch, A. Biastoch

“…These waters are part of the upper limb of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), and Agulhas Leakage variability has been linked to AMOC variability. …”
