Modeling the influence of the Greenland ice sheet melting on the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation during the next millennia
A three-dimensional Earth system model of intermediate complexity including a dynamic ice sheet component has been used to investigate the long-term evolution of the Greenland ice sheet and its effects on the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) in response to a range of stabilized ant...
