Both of the recorded winters were unusually cold and created similarly large amounts of deep water, but the strength of the AMOC whipsawed wildly between 8 and 25 sverdrups, a unit of flow roughly equivalent to the total flow of all the world's rivers.

My guess is that what is keeping the system stable is the cold ice being convected into and past the melt pocket faster than the melt water can flow «upstream» (because the cold ice is strong enough to resist the pressure differential of the water vs ice hydrostatic pressures).

These models predicted that the Northern Hemisphere Polar region would warm fastest and first, that the Southern Ocean would draw a greater portion of atmospheric heat into the ocean system, and that land ice melt near Greenland and West Antarctica would generate cold, fresh water flows into the nearby ocean zones and set off localized cooling.

So on condensation, under the still rising hotter lighter air carrying on doing its thing and perhaps adding new layers, there would be the accompanying volume and temperature decrease of that first previously rising lighter volume now heavier liquid water and added to by the adjacent volumes of heavier colder air flowing beneath the still rising lighter hotter and into the space now available on condensation of its neighbour, which all now being heavier will increase the pressure at the surface as they all sink together displacing the lighter.
