This is a review about the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), its mean
structure, temporal variability, controlling mechanisms, and role in the coupled climate …

The global overturning of ocean waters involves the equatorward transport of cold, deep
waters and the poleward transport of warm, near-surface waters. Such movement creates a …

A new version of the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator coupled
model, ACCESS-CM2, has been developed for a wide range of climate modelling research …

Climate models have continued to be developed and improved since the AR4, and many
models have been extended into Earth System models by including the representation of …

A decade-mean global ocean circulation is estimated using inverse techniques,
incorporating air–sea fluxes of heat and freshwater, recent hydrographic sections, and direct …

Coordinated Ocean-ice Reference Experiments (COREs) are presented as a tool to explore
the behaviour of global ocean-ice models under forcing from a common atmospheric …

The causes and characteristics of interannual–decadal variability of the meridional
overturning circulation (MOC) in the North Atlantic are investigated with a suite of basin …

Global warming has been predicted to slow the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
(AMOC), resulting in significant regional climate impacts across the North Atlantic and …

Editors note: For easy download the posted pdf of the State of the Climate for 2009 is a low-
resolution file. A high-resolution copy of the report is available by clicking. Please be patient …

The meridional overturning circulation (MOC) in the North Atlantic transports heat from the
subtropics to high latitudes and hence plays an important role in the Earth's climate. A region …
