In the northern, western hemisphere, it is called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The AMOC is a critical part of the Earth’s energy balance which regulates the climate.
The bold prediction, which portends a future that could upend weather across the Atlantic Ocean, prompted news headlines fretting over “climate chaos,” “devastation” coming “ahead of ...
A study published Monday concluded that melting ice in Greenland caused by climate change could cause the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) to collapse as soon as 2025, ushering ...
The overall risks of climate change impacts can be reduced by limiting the rate and magnitude of climate change" [14] Working Group III: Without new policies to mitigate climate change, projections suggest an increase in global mean temperature in 2100 of 3.7 to 4.8 °C, relative to pre-industrial levels (median values; the range is 2.5 to 7.8 ...
Climate change has likely been driving the observed trend of rapid intensification of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic basin, with the proportion of storms undergoing intensification nearly doubling over the years 1982 to 2009. [36] [37] Rapidly intensifying cyclones are hard to forecast and pose additional risk to coastal communities. [38]
Evidence for a multidecadal climate oscillation centered in the North Atlantic began to emerge in 1980s work by Folland and colleagues, seen in Fig. 2.d.A. [5] That oscillation was the sole focus of Schlesinger and Ramankutty in 1994, [6] but the actual term Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) was coined by Michael Mann in a 2000 telephone interview with Richard Kerr, [7] as recounted by ...
New study finds evidence of an unprecedented slowdown in North Atlantic Ocean circulation, likely to due to human-caused climate change.
The conference occurred approximately 9 months prior to the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference talks (), also in Copenhagen.The Danish government will submit the results of the scientific congress to decision makers at COP15, [1] with the stated intention of scientifically informing the political COP15 negotiations.
