Fantastic team work here. In the end, the Gulf Stream is *not* slowing down and the #AMOC ... just marginally. That's fascinating and relevant for climate modeling and the current and future needs for ocean observing! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Florida Current transport observations reveal four decades of steady state

Out today in Nature Communications: My paper revisiting the relationship between strength of the ocean meridional overturning circulation (MOC) and atmospheric CO2 levels!
Nature Communications@NatureComms8 Jul 2024
Replying to @jon_lauderdale
@jon_lauderdale shows that ocean feedbacks between biological activity, chelating ligand levels, and dissolved iron availability may reverse carbon uptake/outgassing in response to changes in meridional overturning circulation. @eapsMIT @ScienceMIT @MIT nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Ocean iron cycle feedbacks decouple atmospheric CO2 from meridional overturning circulation changes

The Guardian reminisces over The Day After Tomorrow of 20 years ago. The plot revolves around a breakdown of the Atlantic overturning circulation, AMOC. A topic hotter than ever; I just returned from a 3 day workshop on it. Current state of the science: xitter.cf/rahmstorf/status/17784…
