RISAtlantic Subsurface Temperatures: Response to a Shutdown of the Overturning Circulation and Consequences for Its Recovery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using the coupled climate model of intermediate complexity, CLIMBER-3α, changes in the vertical thermal structure associated with a shutdown of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) are investigated. When ...
The Role of Northern Sea Ice Cover for the Weakening of the Thermohaline Circulation under Global Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration and the resulting global warming are typically associated with a weakening of the thermohaline circulation (THC) in model scenarios. For the models participating in the Coupled ...
Investigating the Causes of the Response of the Thermohaline Circulation to Past and Future Climate Changes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) is an important part of the earth's climate system. Previous research has shown large uncertainties in simulating future changes in this critical system. The simulated THC response ...
