A coupled model study on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation under extreme atmospheric CO2 conditions

This study investigates the climate sensitivity to a strong CO2 atmospheric forcing focusing on the North Atlantic Ocean (NA). The analysis is based on a set of 600 years long experiments performed with a state-of-the-art coupled general circulation model (CGCM) with the 1990 reference value of atmo...
