  1. Decadal variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

    Buckley, Martha WeaverMassachusetts Institute of Technology2011

    In the mean, the Atlantic Ocean transports 1 to 1.5 PW of heat northward, and estimates suggest that 60% of this heat transport is associated with a circulation that reaches the cold waters of the abyss. Due to the role of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in ocean heat …

  2. Constraining variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation at 25N from historical observations, 1980 to 2005

    Longworth, H.R.University of Southampton2007

    The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) plays an important role in<br/>maintaining western Europe’s moderate climate. Although expected to weaken under<br/>increasing greenhouse gas concentrations, the magnitude of the response remains<br/>uncertain. Monitoring of the Atlantic MOC …

  9. Evaluation of an eddy resolving HYCOM simulation in the South Atlantic Ocean

    Giddy, Isabelle SindiswaDepartment of Oceanography2014

    The South Atlantic Ocean acts as a key region of ocean teleconnections and water mass transformation, directly transporting waters from the Southern, Pacific and Indian Oceans towards the North Atlantic and feeding the upper branch of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. To date, this …
