Assessing the stability of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation of the past, present, and future
This paper is a review of the recent development of researches on the stability of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). In particular, we will review recent studies that attempt to best assess the stability of the AMOC in the past, present, and future by using a stability indicato...
