A Model of Atlantic Heat Content and Sea Level Change in Response to Thermohaline Forcing

The response of ocean heat content in the Atlantic to variability in the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) at high latitudes is investigated using a reduced-gravity model and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) general circulationmodel (MITgcm). Consistent with theoretical predict...
