The sensitivity of the present day Atlantic meriodinal overturning circulation to freshwater forcing

Description : Mounting evidence indicates that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) was strongly reduced during cold climate episodes in the past, possible due to freshwater influx from glacial melting. It is also expected that the freshwater input to high northern latitudes will increase as hum...
