Ocean Circulation May Persist Even as Key AMOC Component Fails
Original: The ocean circulation that persists even after a key AMOC component fails
New research reported by Eos suggests that even if a key component of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) collapses, some form of ocean circulation may persist. The finding challenges the idea that a partial AMOC failure would shut down Atlantic overturning entirely, with implications for climate projections and the study of climate tipping points.
Why now: Concern about a possible AMOC collapse is a major climate tipping-point debate, so research suggesting circulation would continue is drawing attention.
