Sub-Polar North Atlantic ocean dynamics in a 3ºC warmer world
University of Birmingham
About the Project Northwest Eurasia owes its anomalously temperate climate to the oceanic circulation cell known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Regional warmth is maintained by northward-flowing Atlantic surface currents – including the Gulf Stream – that lose their heat to the atmosphere in the mid-to-high latitudes, before sinking as cold and saline waters in the Nordic seas.
