Tipping of the Atlantic Ocean Circulation

Date
Speaker
Prof. Henk Dijkstra

Utrech

 

The Atlantic Ocean Circulation, in particular its zonally averaged component called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), is one of the tipping elements in the climate system. The AMOC is sensitive to freshwater perturbations and may undergo a transition towards a climate disrupting state under continuing greenhouse gas emissions. In this presentation, I will discuss the current state of knowledge on AMOC tipping behavior, with focus on the analysis of recent Earth System Model simulation results.
