Published in 2017 at "Geophysical Research Letters"

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.

Published in 2019 at "Earth and Planetary Science Letters"

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2019.05.006

Abstract: Abstract The western tropical Atlantic plays an important role in the interhemispheric redistribution of heat during millennial-scale changes in the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The proper evaluation of this role depends… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Quaternary Research"

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.

Published in 2019 at "Geophysical Research Letters"

DOI: 10.1029/2018gl080284

Abstract: Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is produced in the surface and exported towards the deep ocean, adding ∼2 PgC/year to the global carbon export. Due to its central role in the Meridional Overturning Circulation, the eastern… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems"

DOI: 10.1029/2018ms001447

Abstract: This paper investigates the causation for the decline of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) from approximately 17 Sv to about 9 Sv, when the atmospheric resolution of the Max Planck Institute‐Earth System Model is… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "Geophysical Research Letters"

DOI: 10.1029/2019gl082110

Abstract: The meridional overturning circulation (MOC) decreases rapidly in subpolar and Nordic regions where the warm upper layer loses its buoyancy due to intense heat loss, sinks, and flows south. The major volume loss of the… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "Geophysical Research Letters"

DOI: 10.1029/2019gl082960

Abstract: The variability of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) and its governing processes during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is investigated in the Kiel Climate Model. Under LGM conditions, multidecadal AMOC variability is mainly forced… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Journal of Geophysical Research"

DOI: 10.1029/2019jc015522

Abstract: The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) represents the zonally integrated stream function of meridional volume transport in the Atlantic Basin. The AMOC plays an important role in transporting heat meridionally in the climate system. Observations… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology"

DOI: 10.1029/2019pa003818

Abstract: The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is thought to be relatively vigorous and stable during Interglacial periods on multimillennial (equilibrium) timescales. However, recent proxy (δ13C benthic) reconstructions suggest that higher frequency variability in deep water… read more here.
