Dichotomy between freshwater and heat flux effects on oceanic conveyor belt stability and global climate
Abstract The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation is an important global-scale oceanic circulation, and its changes may be responsible for past abrupt climate change events. By using two versions of a coupled climate model, here we show that the stability of this circulation depends not only...
