DOI: 10.1002/2017gl073227
Abstract: This study reconstructs a century-long South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (SAMOC) index. The reconstruction is possible due to its covariability with sea surface temperature (SST). A singular value decomposition (SVD) method is applied to the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00382-019-05052-0
Abstract: The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) plays a central role in the decadal variability of global and regional climate through changing poleward transport of heat. However, realistic simulation of the AMOC, i.e., its strength and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/qua.2018.88
Abstract: Abstract Spatially extensive and intense phytoplankton blooms observed off Iberia, in satellite pictures, are driven by significant nutrient supply by upper-ocean vertical mesoscale activity rather than by horizontal advection by coastal upwelling. Productivity of oligotrophic… read more here.
