| 英文摘要 | The Atlantic Ocean, in particular its Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC), is sensitive to the patterns of atmospheric forcing, in particular to that of the freshwater flux. Relatively small changes in atmospheric conditions can therefore lead to a spectacular reduction (collapse) of the strength of the Atlantic MOC. As the timescale of a collapse is only a few decades, the associated changes in heat transport may have a large impact on European climate and society. In the fourth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment report (AR4), global climate models (GCMs) project that changes in freshwater input due to global warming will only lead to a slight change in the strength of the Atlantic MOC at the end of this century. However, there have been recent developments which indicate that the Atlantic MOC may be more sensitive than these models suggest; in this overview we will present what is known and what lies ahead. © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014. |
