dc.subject | The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) impacts the climate system on both regional and global scale. However, a large inter-model spread combined with disagreement between observations and models suggests that the drivers of the AMOC are poorly understood. To gain insight into this disagreement, we decompose the AMOC into several transport components and assess how well the strength, variability and deep-water circulation are reproduced by CMIP6 models. | |
