The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation in High-Resolution Models

摘要: The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) represents the zonally integrated stream function of volume transport in Basin. AMOC plays an important role transporting heat meridionally climate system. Observations suggest a by 1.3 PW at 26°N-a latitude which is close to where northward thought reach its maximum. This shapes North region as we know it today. In recent years there has been significant progress both our ability observe nature and simulate numerical models. Most previous modeling investigations impact on have relied models with horizontal resolution that does not resolve ocean mesoscale eddies dynamics Gulf Stream/North Current As result increases computing power, are now being run able represent features rely them. aim this review describe new insights into provided high-resolution Furthermore, will how model simulations can help outstanding challenges understanding AMOC.
