AMOC sensitivity to icebergs
AMOC sensitivity to iceberg forcings
The last glacial cycle was characterized by a number of abrupt cooling events in the North Atlantic known as Heinrich events. Heinrich events are associated with massive ice sheet surges from the former Laurentide ice sheet and subsequent predominantly eastward transport of icebergs across the North Atlantic. Paleo records also indicate that ice discharge events coincided with a weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Typically,…

Self-sustained AMOC oscillations
AMOC response to different forcing and self-sustained AMOC oscillations
State-of-the-art coupled climate models produce very different states of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in simulations of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Many of them fail to capture the shoaling of the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) cell, as indicated by paleo records. The mechanisms that control the shoaling are not yet well understood. Changes in the AMOC have also been linked to past abrupt…

Fully coupled climate-ice sheet simulations
Fully coupled climate-ice sheet simulations of the last deglaciation
The climate system has undergone dramatic changes during the last deglaciation from 21,000 years before present to present day. For example, the Laurentide ice sheet over North America and the Fennoscandian ice sheet over Northern Europe have completely disappeared. This collapse of the ice sheets was accompanied by a global sea-level rise of ~120 m. The individual climate components and their responses to changing conditions…
