• Observations, inferences, and mechanisms of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: A review (2016, background): “…portions due to the overturning and gyre circulations indicates that the overturning circulation transports freshwater southward at most latitudes in the Atlantic, including at 30∘S [Rahmstorf , 1996; Weijer et al., 1999; de Vries and Weber, 2005; Drijfhout et al., 2011; Valdivieso et al., 2014].”
• Bistability of the Atlantic overturning circulation in a global climate model and links to ocean freshwater transport (2011, background): “[22] We consider the suggestion that the net freshwater import by the overturning circulation in the Atlantic (Fov) is a useful physical indicator of the presence, or not, of a bistable regime [Rahmstorf, 1996; de Vries and Weber, 2005; Dijkstra, 2007; Huisman et al., 2010].”
• Past, Present, and Future Changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (2012, background): “A key diagnostic of mono-/bistability that has been found in many model studies (e.g., de Vries and Weber 2005; Cimatoribus et al. 2012) is the salinity (or equivalently freshwater) flux across a zonal section across the South Atlantic between Africa and South America (typically at a latitude near…”
• The stability of the MOC as diagnosed from model projections for pre-industrial, present and future climates (2011, methodology): “In addition, de Vries and Weber (2005) suggested that coupled models feature a too low Maz associated with a too low east-west salinity contrast at 34 S in the South Atlantic.”
