The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a large-scale overturning motion of the entire Atlantic, from the Southern Ocean to the high north. We published an early model comparison about this in 2005. Graph by Ruijian Gou. The AMOC is a big deal for climate. 15 Sverdrup). Take the IPCC reports.

The paper results from a major computational effort, based on running a state-of-the-art climate model (the CESM model with horizontal resolution 1° for the ocean/sea ice and 2° for the atmosphere/land component) for 4,400 model years. Figure adapted from Caesar et al., Nature 2018.

Two decades ago, in an interview with science journalist Richard Kerr for the journal Science, I coined the term the “Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation” (AMO) to describe an internal oscillation in the climate system resulting from interactions between North Atlantic ocean currents and wind patterns. Background.

Furthermore, if you squinted, you could perhaps convince yourself that there was a correlation to solar activity – well, at least Soon could ( Soon, 2005) ). If the land data was contaminated by urban heating effects, we wouldn’t see similar warming in the ocean. And which solar reconstruction did he use? Scafetta, R.

The factor that quantifies this effect is called the ‘efficacy’ of the forcing, which for the most part is reasonably close to one, and so doesn’t change the zeroth-order picture (Hansen et al, 2005). W/m 2 , and the net forcing (including cooling impacts of aerosols and natural changes) is 2.7±0.8 Sherwood, M.J.

Although much of the ocean’s abyss seems dark, still and silent, water is nevertheless always flowing, and in specific directions. Much of this water cools as it flows towards the poles, becoming denser and sinking to the ocean floor. Vast, slow currents called conveyors help create and govern the climate we experience.
