Their research, published in Nature Climate Change on June 29, is the first attempt to examine and document these changes in the air - sea heat exchange in the region — brought about by global warming — and to consider its possible impact on

A new study shows Earth's
oceanic conveyor belt, the
Atlantic Meridional Overturning
Circulation, may be less stable than thought, posing a risk of abrupt climate change.
Changes in
oceanic circulation in the North
Atlantic have influence on a planetary level by affecting, in particular, the water cycle.
This water was then transported to the higher latitudes, contributing to the weakening of deep
oceanic circulation, thereby reinforcing the cooling above and around the North
Atlantic.
Is
oceanic buffering of forced ITCZ shifts controlled by an underappreciated
Atlantic meridional overturning
circulation pathway?
The shapes of the shorelines, bottom relief, systems of
oceanic currents, tides, atmospheric
circulation and a number of other criteria subdivide the World Ocean into the Pacific,
Atlantic, Indian and Arctic Oceans.
While the
circulation of the Atlantic Ocean has a complex three - dimensional spatial structure, the zonally integrated flow in the basin, referred to as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), is largely responsible for the net northward oceanic heat transport on climate - relevant

Atlantic Ocean; and weather patterns in middle latitudes.
In this paper, it is shown that coherent large - scale low - frequency variabilities in the North
Atlantic Ocean — that is, the variations of thermohaline
circulation, deep western boundary current, northern recirculation gyre, and Gulf Stream path — are associated with high - latitude
oceanic Great Salinity Anomaly events.
