Climate feedbacks induced by the North Atlantic freshwater forcing in a coupled model of intermediate complexity Anomalias climáticas induzidas por um aumento de água doce no Atlântico Norte em um modelo acoplado de complexidade intermediária

Based on coupled model simulations (ECBilt-Clio), we investigate the atmospheric and oceanic response to sustained freshwater input into the North Atlantic under the glacial maximum background state. The results demonstrate that a weakening of the thermohaline circulation triggered by weaker density...
