Modelling abrupt glacial North Atlantic freshening: Rates of change and their implications for Heinrich events

The abrupt delivery of large amounts of freshwater to the North Atlantic in the form of water or icebergs has been thought to lead to significant climate change, including abrupt slowing of the Atlantic Ocean meridional overturning circulation. In this paper we examine intermediate complexity couple...
