Low-frequency oscillations of the Atlantic Ocean meridional overturning circulation in a coupled climate model
Using a 3-dimensional climate model of intermediate complexity we show that the overturning circulation of the Atlantic Ocean can vary at multicentennial-to-millennial timescales for modern boundary conditions. A continuous freshwater perturbation in the Labrador Sea pushes the overturning circulati...
