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: 10.1016/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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
