NAO implicated as a predictor of Northern Hemisphere mean temperature multidecadal variability (2013, neutral): “…physics [ Hegerl et al ., 2007; Zhang et al ., 2013], and the in-phase relationship between the NHT and multidecadal variability in sea surface temperature (SST) [ Knight et al ., 2005; Oldenborgh et al ., 2012] cannot be used in the advance prediction of the NHT multidecadal variations.”
Can the Atlantic Ocean drive the observed multidecadal variability in Northern Hemisphere mean temperature? (2007, methodology): “same order but smaller than that found with the HadCM3 model [Knight et al., 2005].”
Sources of multi-decadal variability in Arctic sea ice extent (2012, background): “Previously, it has been suggested that the AMO is driven by AMOC variability as their observed cycles are in phase (Knight et al 2005, Zhang 2007).”
A delayed oscillator model for the quasi-periodic multidecadal variability of the NAO (2015, neutral): “There is some consensus that the multidecadal variability in the North Atlantic SST is closely linked to the fluctuations in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) (Delworth and Mann 2000; Latif et al. 2004; Knight et al. 2005; Zhang et al. 2013).”
What is the current state of scientific knowledge with regard to seasonal and decadal forecasting? (2012, background): “Observations and climate models indicate that north Atlantic SSTs fluctuate with a period of about 30–80 yr, linked to variations of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC; Delworth et al 2007, Knight et al 2005).”
A hemispheric mechanism for the atlantic multidecadal oscillation (2007, methodology): “All of these numerical experiments involve THC fluctuations, suggesting a key role played by this climate component in multidecadal variability (Latif et al. 2004; Knight et al. 2005).”
Three-ocean interactions and climate variability: a review and perspective (2019, background): “The AMO represents the basin-wide SST variations in the North Atlantic north of the equator, which seems to be related to AMOC variability (e.g., Delworth and Mann 2000; Knight et al. 2005).”
Temperature (2019, neutral): “Whilst it is clear that there is a significant multidecadal pattern to sea-surface temperatures, there is still much uncertainty about how to determine the relative contribution of these two factors to the recent observed warming (Knight et al., 2005; Ting et al., 2009; Swanson et al., 2009; Cannaby”
A More General Framework for Understanding Atlantic Hurricane Variability and Trends (2007, background): “…both relating the AMO to Atlantic thermohaline circulation variability (e.g., Kushnir 1994; Delworth and Mann 2000; Goldenberg et al. 2001; Knight et al. 2005; Sutton and Hodson 2005) and relating most of the variability of the AMO to a superposition of radiative forc-ings (Andronova and…”
Latitudinal dependence of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) variations (2010, background): “This dipole pattern also presents in modeled and observed leading mode of North Atlantic Subsurface Temperature (Tsub) and is a fingerprint of AMOC variations [Zhang, 2008].”
Continuous, Array-Based Estimates of Atlantic Ocean Heat Transport at 26.5°N (2011, background): “On decadal-to-multidecadal time scales, there is growing model evidence that large-scale interhemispheric sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the Atlantic are linked to MOC and corresponding MHT variations (Knight et al. 2005; Zhang and Delworth 2006).”
Causes of Interannual–Decadal Variability in the Meridional Overturning Circulation of the Midlatitude North Atlantic Ocean (2008, background): “…transport of heat in the subtropical–midlatitude North Atlantic (Roemmich and Wunsch 1985; Talley 2003); MOC transport changes are hence implicated in observed multidecadal variations of large-scale sea surface temperature distribution (Latif et al. 2006) and climate indices (Knight et al. 2005).”
