The North Atlantic has climatic importance due to the meridional overturning circula-tion (MOC). The northward flow of the MOC transports a large amount of heat which moderates the cold climate at high latitudes. It is possible that anthropogenically forced climate change could cause a decrease in t...

Summary: | The North Atlantic has climatic importance due to the meridional overturning circula-tion (MOC). The northward flow of the MOC transports a large amount of heat which moderates the cold climate at high latitudes. It is possible that anthropogenically forced climate change could cause a decrease in the MOC, due to increased freshwater flux and |
