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 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 …

Mesoscale ocean eddies, an important element of the climate system, impact ocean
circulation, heat uptake, gas exchange, carbon sequestration and nutrient transport. Much of …

Changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) are moderate in most
climate model projections under increasing greenhouse gas forcing. This intermodel …

Abstract The Atlantic Ocean receives warm, saline water from the Indo-Pacific Ocean
through Agulhas leakage around the southern tip of Africa. Recent findings suggest that …

We present results from an intercomparison of 11 different climate models of intermediate
complexity, in which the North Atlantic Ocean was subjected to slowly varying changes in …

Interocean exchange of heat and salt around South Africa is thought to be a key link in the
maintenance of the global overturning circulation of the ocean. It takes place at the Agulhas …

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) represents the zonally integrated
stream function of meridional volume transport in the Atlantic Basin. The AMOC plays an …

Predicting the evolution of climate over decadal timescales requires a quantitative
understanding of the dynamics that govern the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) …

In the? rst edition of this book (publishedby Kluwer Academic in November 2000) the
methodology of dynamical systems theory was introduced and appli-cations of this theory to …
