Generated using version 3.0 of the official AMS L ATEX template Impact of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) on Arctic Surface Air Temperature and Sea-Ice Variability
The simulated impact of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) on the low frequency variability of the Arctic Surface Air temperature (SAT) and sea-ice extent is studied with a 1000 year-long segment of a control simulation of GFDL CM2.1 climate model. The simulated AMOC variations i...

The simulated impact of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) on the low frequency variability of the Arctic Surface Air temperature (SAT) and sea-ice extent is studied with a 1000 year-long segment of a control simulation of GFDL CM2.1 climate model. The simulated AMOC variations in the control simulation are found to be significantly anti-correlated with the Arctic sea-ice extent anomalies and significantly correlated with the Arctic SAT anomalies on decadal timescales in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic. The maximum anti-correlation with the Arctic sea-ice extent and the maximum correlation with the Arctic SAT occur when the AMOC Index leads by one year. An intensification of the AMOC is associated with a sea-ice decline in the Labrador, Greenland and Barents Seas in the control simulation, with the largest change occurring in the winter.
