A Systematic North-South asymmetry in the Steady-state Climate of rapidly-rotating Oblique Water Worlds
Y Wu, S. Portegies Zwart, H Dijkstra
Planetary obliquity (axial tilt) plays an important role in regulating the climate evolution and habitability of water-covered planets. Despite the suspicion of large obliquities i…
The Effects of a Constructed Closure of the Bering Strait on AMOC Tipping Behavior
Jelle Soons, Henk A. Dijkstra
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a major tipping element in the present-day climate, and could potentially collapse under sufficient freshwater or CO2-forc…
Physics of an AMOC Overshoot in a Box Model
Jelle Soons, Tobias Grafke, René M. van Westen +1
Recently the global average temperature has temporarily exceeded the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement, and so an overshoot of various climate tipping elements becomes increasingly…
Feedback Processes causing an AMOC Collapse in the Community Earth System Model
Elian Vanderborght, René M. van Westen, Henk A. Dijkstra
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is recognized as a tipping element within the global climate system. Central to its tipping behavior is the salt-advection fe…
Most Likely Noise-Induced Overturning Circulation Collapse in a 2D Boussinesq Fluid Model
Jelle Soons, Tobias Grafke, Henk A. Dijkstra
There is a reasonable possibility that the present-day Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is in a bi-stable regime and hence it is relevant to compute probabilities and pa…
