By synthesizing recent studies employing a wide range of approaches (modern
observations, paleo reconstructions, and climate model simulations), this paper provides a …

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

Abstract We describe the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory's CM4. 0 physical climate
model, with emphasis on those aspects that may be of particular importance to users of this …

Ventilation of Labrador Sea Water (LSW) receives ample attention because of its potential
relation to the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Here, we …

The notion that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) can have more than
one stable equilibrium emerged in the 1980s as a powerful hypothesis to explain rapid …

A global climatology and database of mixed layer properties are computed from nearly
1,250,000 Argo profiles. The climatology is calculated with both a hybrid algorithm for …

This report is the first complete assessment of the science of climate change since Working
Group I (WGI) of the IPCC produced its second report Climate Change 1995: The Science of …

The atmosphere and ocean are two of the most important components of the climate system,
and fluid dynamics is central to our understanding of both. This book provides a unified and …

Although the strongest ocean surface currents occur at horizontal scales of order 100 km,
recent numerical simulations suggest that flows smaller than these mesoscale eddies can …

The progress in our understanding of several aspects of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard
convection is reviewed. The focus is on the question of how the Nusselt number and the …
