Multicentennial Variability Driven by Salinity Exchanges Between the Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean in a Coupled Climate Model

Abstract The IPSL‐CM6‐LR atmosphere‐ocean coupled model exhibits a pronounced multicentennial variability of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), driven by delayed freshwater accumulation and release in the Arctic. The AMOC fluctuations are preceded by salinity‐driven density anom...
