In this study, a mechanism is demonstrated whereby a large reduction in the Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) can induce global-scale changes in the Tropics that are consistent with paleoevidence of the global synchronization of millennial-scale abrupt climate change. Using GFDL's newly developed global coupled ocean-atmosphere model (CM2.0), the global response to a sustained addition of freshwater to the model's North Atlantic is simulated. This freshwater forcing substantially weakens the Atlantic THC, resulting in a southward shift of the intertropical convergence zone over the Atlantic and Pacific, an El Nino-like pattern in the southeastern tropical Pacific, and weakened Indian and Asian summer monsoons through air-sea interactions.
