Does the AMOC and resulting ocean heat transport have a significant impact on regional sea level?

It has been noted in a five - member multi-model ensemble analysis that, associated with the changes in temperature of the upper ocean in Figure 10.7, the tropical Pacific Ocean heat transport remains nearly constant with increasing greenhouse gases due to the compensation of the subtropical cells and the horizontal gyre variations, even as the subtropical cells change in response to changes in the trade winds (Hazeleger, 2005).

Here we simulate the glacial inception and early growth of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet using a general circulation model with coupled components for atmosphere, ocean, ice sheet and sediment, and which incorporates palaeogeography, greenhouse gas, changing orbital parameters, and varying ocean heat transport.

One early crude estimate indicating considerable ocean heat transport was Oort and Vonder Haar (1976).

Northward ocean heat transport achieved by the AMOC is responsible for the relative warmth of the Northern Hemisphere, compared to the Southern Hemisphere, and is thought to play a role in setting the mean position of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone north of the equator.

Thinning of the winter sea - ice increases the efficiency of formation of open water in summer, and abrupt retreat occurs when ocean heat transport to the Arctic increases rapidly (19).

Alternatively, it may be the result of increased ocean heat transports due to either an enhanced thermohaline circulation (Raymo et al., 1989; Rind and Chandler, 1991) or increased flow of surface ocean currents due to greater wind stresses (Ravelo et al., 1997; Haywood et al., 2000), or associated with the reduced extent of land and sea ice (Jansen et al., 2000; Knies et al., 2002; Haywood et al., 2005).
