Weak 21st-century AMOC response to Greenland meltwater in a strongly eddying ocean model
Oliver Mehling, Henk A. Dijkstra
Climate models project that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) will weaken in the 21st century, but the magnitude is highly uncertain. Some of this uncertainty…
Failure to track a stable AMOC state under rapid climate change
René M. van Westen, René M. van Westen, Reyk Börner +2
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a tipping element of the climate system. The current estimate of the global warming threshold for the onset of an AMOC col…
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…
A Criterion for Safe Overshoot in Coupled Tipping Systems
Sacha Sinet, Nathalie A. M. Delmeire, Paul D. L. Ritchie +2
Abrupt transitions are a central concern in climate and ecological research, and may arise when critical thresholds known as tipping points are crossed. However, previous work has…
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…
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 increasingl…
