• A systematic study of the impact of freshwater pulses with respect to different geographical locations (2010, background): “…investigating the so-called hysteresis behaviour of the coupled atmosphere–ocean system, in which applying a certain amount of freshwater in quasiequilibrium will not lead to a disruption of the NADW production as long as a threshold is not crossed (Ganopolski et al. 1998; Rahmstorf et al. 2005).”
• Bistability of the Atlantic overturning circulation in a global climate model and links to ocean freshwater transport (2011, background): “[15] As the hosing increases in the transient experiment, the strength of the AMOC decreases, and a reversed AMOC cell with a strength of around 10 Sv forms in the South Atlantic (Figure 1).”
• Modeling the influence of Greenland ice sheet melting on the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation during the next millennia (2007, result): “0, which is consistent with the study of Ridley et al. [2005] as well as with climate change projections conducted with AOGCMs in which the meltwater input from the Greenland ice sheet is prescribed or only crudely parameterized [Jungclaus et al.”

• Tipping elements and climate–economic shocks: Pathways toward integrated assessment (2016, background): “In hosing experiments, which add freshwater to the North Atlantic, AMOC transitions to a collapsed mode once the freshwater input exceeds a threshold (∼0.1–0.5 Sverdrups; [Rahmstorf , 2005]).”
