Research shows that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation has undergone different stages of evolution, gradually weakening from a relatively stable period to the weakest state in recent decades.
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)-one of Earth's major ocean circulation systems-redistributes heat on our planet and has a major impact on climate. Here, we compare a variety of published proxy records to reconstruct the evolution of the AMOC since about AD 400. A fairly consistent picture of the AMOC emerges: after a long and relatively stable period, there was an initial weakening starting in the nineteenth century, followed by a second, more rapid, decline in the mid-twentieth century, leading to the weakest state of the AMOC occurring in recent decades.
