Multi-stability of Atlantic and Pacific overturning: The role of Freshwater Forcing Asymmetries and the Hydrological Cycle
Elian Vanderborght, Oliver Mehling, Henk A. Dijkstra
A defining feature of the present-day global overturning circulation (GOC) is the absence of deep water formation in the Pacific, in contrast to the Atlantic. This asymmetry, assoc…
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…
Limited impact of Greenland meltwater on abruptness and reversibility of future Atlantic overturning changes
Oliver Mehling, Katinka Bellomo, Federico Fabiano +4
All climate models project that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) will weaken in the 21st century, but most models neglect increasing runoff from the Greenland…
Global stability of the Atlantic overturning circulation: Edge state, long transients and boundary crisis under CO forcing
Reyk Börner, Oliver Mehling, Jost von Hardenberg +1
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a crucial ocean current system, could transition to a weak state. Despite severe associated climate impacts, assessing the A…
Centennial-scale variability of the Atlantic Meridional Circulation in CMIP6 models shaped by Arctic-North Atlantic interactions and sea ice biases
Oliver Mehling, Katinka Bellomo, Jost von Hardenberg
Climate variability on centennial timescales has often been linked to internal variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). However, due to the scarceness…
