Lagrangian Overturning Pathways in the Eastern Subpolar North Atlantic

Oliver J. Tooth et al.

Summary: The strength of the AMOC at subpolar latitudes is dominated by water mass transformation in the eastern SPNA. However, the distribution of this overturning across the individual circulation pathways of both the SPG and the Nordic seas overflows is poorly understood. Water mass transformation along the pathways of the eastern SPG accounts for 55% of the mean strength of the eastern subpolar AMOC.

Formation and pathways of dense water in the Nordic Seas based on a regional inversion

Ailin Brakstad et al.

Summary: By analyzing hydrographic and geochemical tracer observations, this study reveals the main sources and pathways of the Denmark Strait Overflow Water (DSOW) and the Faroe Bank Channel Overflow Water. It is found that the North Icelandic Jet contributes a significant portion of the DSOW, with most of its water originating from the Greenland Sea. Additionally, the study uncovers a previously unknown pathway through the Jan Mayen Ridge into the Iceland Sea. These findings provide unprecedented insights into the importance of the Greenland Sea and the Iceland Sea in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.

Future strengthening of the Nordic Seas overturning circulation

Marius Arthun et al.

Summary: Contrary to the North Atlantic, the overturning circulation in the Nordic Seas is projected to increase throughout most of the 21st century, according to global climate models. The increased circulation is attributed to enhanced horizontal circulation and a strengthened zonal density gradient. This could potentially stabilize the future Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC).

Mixing and air-sea buoyancy fluxes set the time-mean overturning circulation in the subpolar North Atlantic and Nordic Seas

Dafydd Gwyn Evans et al.

Summary: The overturning streamfunction at the OSNAP mooring array represents the transformation of Atlantic Water into North Atlantic Deep Water. Air-sea buoyancy fluxes and mixing contribute to this transformation. Observational, reanalysis, and model-based datasets are used to estimate the water mass transformations. The study highlights the importance of accurately representing mixing-driven processes for realistic simulation of the overturning circulation in the North Atlantic.

Nordic Seas Heat Loss, Atlantic Inflow, and Arctic Sea Ice Cover Over the Last Century

Lars H. Smedsrud et al.

Summary: This study provides a detailed account of the poleward ocean heat transport and its effects on the earth system, particularly in relation to sea ice cover. It shows that the Arctic Ocean, including the Nordic and Barents Seas, has experienced warming since the 1970s, which is attributed to increased ocean heat transport and sea ice loss. The study also reveals that the largest heat loss to the atmosphere occurs in the Nordic Seas, while the Barents Sea and Arctic seas farther north exhibit smaller but increasing heat loss. The inflow of northward Atlantic Water, total heat loss to the atmosphere, and dense outflow have all increased since 1900, and are consistently related through theoretical scaling. The findings highlight the significance of these processes in understanding climate change in the Arctic region.

Summary: Low-frequency internal atmospheric variability has contributed to 25% of Arctic Ocean warming and 60% of accelerated warming from 2000 to 2018. A multiyear trend in large-scale atmospheric circulation has played a significant role in summer and fall ocean warming.

Coupled stratosphere-troposphere-Atlantic multidecadal oscillation and its importance for near-future climate projection

Nour-Eddine Omrani et al.

Summary: The climate trends in the Northern Hemisphere in the stratosphere, troposphere, ocean, and cryosphere are related to each other. A coupled stratosphere/troposphere/ocean-oscillation framework can explain these trends. The positive Northern Annular Mode (NAM) and stratospheric cooling lead to strengthening of Atlantic overturning circulation and extratropical Atlantic-gyres, causing oceanic heat transport and Arctic sea-ice melting. This initiates a wave-induced negative NAM and stratospheric warming, reversing the oscillation phase.

The evolution of the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation since 1980

Laura C. Jackson et al.

Summary: The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has a key role in the climate system, and its variability since 1980 has been analyzed. The AMOC has shown periods of both strengthening and weakening, with uncertain magnitudes of change. Different patterns of variability have been observed in the subpolar and subtropical regions of the North Atlantic. Research priorities include improving the monitoring of the AMOC, better representing processes in the North Atlantic, and distinguishing between anthropogenic weakening and internal variability.

Summary: Increased ocean transport from the North Atlantic into the Nordic Seas and Arctic Ocean is warming the region. The poleward heat transport may have contributed to the declining sea-ice extent and increasing ocean temperatures since the late 1990s.

Mechanisms for Late 20th and Early 21st Century Decadal AMOC Variability

Alex Megann et al.

Summary: Recent studies suggest that the Iceland Basin and the Irminger Sea play a more significant role in the formation of upper North Atlantic Deep Water than the Labrador Sea. Through hindcast integrations of a global NEMO simulation, it is found that the surface heat loss from the Irminger Sea is the dominant mechanism for decadal variability in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Additionally, there is a causal link between surface forcing and decadal variability in the strength of the AMOC, and the AMOC variability is related to the North Atlantic Oscillation.

120 Years of AMOC Variability Reconstructed From Observations Using the Bernoulli Inverse

Neil J. Fraser et al.

Summary: This study presents a time series for the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) over the past 120 years derived solely from observations. The research shows that AMOC varies on a multidecadal timescale, leading the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV) in sea surface temperature by 2.5 years. The dynamics of the implied AMOC/AMV coupling suggest that low-frequency variability in both parameters is driven by large-scale density anomalies circulating in the AMOC.

The poleward enhanced Arctic Ocean cooling machine in a warming climate

Qi Shu et al.

Summary: The Barents Sea serves as a cooling machine for the Arctic Ocean, releasing ocean heat and playing a crucial role in regulating climate and determining ocean circulation. The study shows that as the climate warms, the efficiency of this cooling machine is enhanced poleward, driving Arctic Atlantification towards the poles.

Role of air-sea fluxes and ocean surface density in the production of deep waters in the eastern subpolar gyre of the North Atlantic

Tillys Petit et al.

Summary: Winter convection in the North Atlantic Ocean plays a key role in the global climate by producing dense waters that contribute to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Recent studies emphasize the significance of the Irminger and Iceland basins in the production of North Atlantic Deep Water, with buoyancy forcing transforming surface waters into deep waters. The research shows that air-sea fluxes and ocean surface density are crucial factors influencing the densification of surface water and the transformation of subpolar mode water in the Iceland Basin.
