Weakened Atlantic meridional overturning circulation redistributes heat from Atlantic to Indo-Pacific and enhances global ocean heat uptake efficiency
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has a dramatic impact on global ocean heat uptake and redistribution. Here, we isolate and quantify this AMOC impact using free- and fixed-AMOC climate model simulations. During the last four decades, the weakened AMOC has moved heat from the subpolar North Atlan...
