The researchers show that models simulating strong
LGM sea ice formation also exhibit enhanced stratification and a shallower Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), largely consistent with the geological evidence.

Top panels: 50 % annual
sea ice concentration (dashed blue line) and buoyancy fluxes, where negative values (blue shading) are associated with
sea ice formation; note that these areas expand equatorward in the
LGM simulation.
Thus, two - thirds of the 180 m
sea - level change between the
ice - free planet and the
LGM occurred with
formation of Northern Hemisphere
ice (and probably some increased volume of Antarctic
ice).
