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…
The role of edge states for early-warning of tipping points
Johannes Lohmann, Alfred B. Hansen, Alessandro Lovo +3
Tipping points (TP) are often described as low-dimensional bifurcations, and are associated with early-warning signals (EWS) due to critical slowing down (CSD). CSD is an increase…
Melancholia States of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
Johannes Lohmann, Valerio Lucarini
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a much studied component of the climate system, because its suspected multistability is associated with tipping behaviour…
Thermohaline circulation stability: a box model study - Part I: uncoupled model
Valerio Lucarini, Peter H. Stone
A thorough analysis of the stability of the uncoupled Rooth interhemispheric 3-box model of thermohaline circulation (THC) is presented. The model consists of a northern high latit…
