Evolution of deep-water circulation in the North-East Atlantic during the latest Miocene warming

Evolution of North Atlantic Deep Water inflow through the Yucatán Channel recorded by an obstacle-controlled contourite drift

The deep Gulf of Mexico1 [see PDF for footnote] serves as a geological archive of variability in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, reflecting changes in ventilation associated with the inflow of North Atlantic Deep Water. Recent studies outlined the development of the Loop Current through the identificat...

Water mass modification of the warm Atlantic Inflow towards the Arctic across the Iceland-Faroe Ridge

Rapid Changes in Southern Ocean Upper‐Water Temperature Linked to Shift of the Southern Hemisphere Westerlies Since the Last Glacial

The pattern and cause of upper‐water temperature (UWT) variations on millennial timescales in the Southern Ocean (SO) and the mechanism of their interaction with high‐latitude Northern Hemisphere climate remain unclear. Here, we reconstructed millennial‐scale subsurface temperature (subST) records from the Weddell Sea...

Transient Global Overturning Following the Shutdown of North Atlantic Deep Water Formation

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a key component of the climate system, is projected to weaken under climate warming, raising concerns about a potential collapse and its climatic consequences. However, it has recently been suggested that the wind‐driven upwelling of the Southern Ocean may prevent...

Deep-water hydrographic variability in the Northeast Atlantic during MIS 4

Freshwater‐Induced Surface Cooling of the Subpolar North Atlantic in a Large‐Ensemble, High‐Resolution, Coupled Model

As a gateway between the Arctic and subtropics, the subpolar North Atlantic plays a key role in large‐scale climate variability. In recent decades, the region has experienced pronounced freshening. While much attention has been paid to the expected long‐term weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation,...
