A mechanism for lagged North Atlantic climate response to solar variability (2013, background): “In addition, strong projection of the response onto the NAO and the associated ocean influence of the NAO [Eden and Willebrand, 2001; Bellucci and Richards, 2006] suggests that meridional overturning in the Atlantic is likely to be affected.”
A multi-model comparison of Atlantic multidecadal variability (2014, unknown): “…cannot directly drive meridional overturning circulation changes, as it only involves vertical mass exchange, observations and models suggest a close relation among MLD, deep water formation, and changes in over-turning strength (Eden and Willebrand 2001; Curry et al. 1998; Dickson et al. 1996).”
Continuous, Array-Based Estimates of Atlantic Ocean Heat Transport at 26.5°N (2011, background): “Eden and Willebrand (2001) found changes in the MHT of up to 0.2 PW in the subpolar North Atlantic associated with NAO forcing and a lagged response in the subtropics of up to 0.16 PW between low and high NAO states.”
Response of the global ocean to Greenland and Antarctic ice melting (2008, background): “The associated propagation speed is slower than Kelvin waves and agrees rather with boundary waves discussed in some detail by Eden and Willebrand (2001). The subsequent increase in SSH along the east coast is steady, leading to about 0.”
The ocean's response to North Atlantic Oscillation variability (2013, methodology): “The oceans' response to NAO-like forcing was then deduced by either looking at individual years with extreme NAO states [e.g. Seager et al. 2000], and/or performing joint SVD analyses to isolate the dominant mode of variability [e.g., Eden and Willebrand 2001; Paiva and Chassignet 2002].”
Is the thermohaline circulation changing (2006, background): “…model studies indicate that NAO-related variations in the heat fluxes over the Labrador Sea induce a lagged (2–3 yr) response of the MOC (Eden and Willebrand 2001; Häkkinen 1999) that is rapidly communicated between subpolar and tropical latitudes through boundary wave processes (Getzlaff et…”
Evaluation of the GECCO2 ocean synthesis: transports of volume, heat and freshwater in the Atlantic (2015, background): “However, the heat content changes in the deeper layers seem to be insufficiently constrained in GECCO2.”
Causes of climate change over the historical record (2019, background): “In fact, the role of wind-driven forcing, such as that linked to the NAO, for the ocean inertia has been widely been documented (e.g. Delworth and Mann 2000, Eden and Jung 2001, Eden and Willebrand 2001).”
Stratosphere key for wintertime atmospheric response to warm Atlantic decadal conditions (2014, background): “Although controversial (Booth et al. 2012; Ottera et al. 2010), ocean (Eden and Jung 2001; Eden and Willebrand 2001) and coupled ocean–atmosphere models (Deser and Blackmon 1993; Jungclaus et al. 2005; Vellinga and Wu 2004) suggest that the basin-wide SST-changes associated with AMV are partly…”
Observations, inferences, and mechanisms of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: A review (2016, background): “These trends are thought to be related to changes in the NAO [Eden and Willebrand, 2001; Bentsen et al., 2004; Böning et al., 2006; Deshayes and Frankignoul, 2008; Lohmann et al., 2009; Robson et al., 2012].”
Response of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre to persistent North Atlantic oscillation like forcing (2009, methodology): “Eden and Willebrand (2001) as well as Brauch and Gerdes (2005), using OGCMs forced with idealized NAO-like surface fields based on the NCEP-NCAR reanalysis, suggest a delayed (interannual timescale) baroclinic response of the SPG and the AMOC with an intensification (weakening) during a positive (n”
The North Atlantic subpolar circulation in an eddy-resolving global ocean model (2015, background): “LS dynamics and deep-water formation directly determine the strength of the AMOC (Döscher and Redler, 1997), which reacts with a delayed enhancement (with a time lag of 2–3 years) to anomalous deep convection in the LS (Eden and Willebrand, 2001; Gulev et al., 2003).”
Causes of Interannual–Decadal Variability in the Meridional Overturning Circulation of the Midlatitude North Atlantic Ocean (2008, methodology): “This appears consistent with the magnitude [O(10%–20%) of the mean] of the MOC variability that has been a typical result of ocean model integrations using atmospheric forcing based on atmospheric reanalysis data (Häkkinen 1999; Eden and Willebrand 2001; Gulev et al. 2003; Beismann and Barnier 2004;”
Initializing Decadal Climate Predictions with the GECCO Oceanic Synthesis: Effects on the North Atlantic (2009, background): “…MOC of the assimilation run develops quite independently of the GECCO results, suggesting that predictive skill for the MOC might be limited to high latitudes, where a clear relation has been demonstrated between the past North Atlantic Oscillation and the MOC strength (Eden and Willebrand 2001).”
Mechanism of interdecadal thermohaline circulation variability in a coupled ocean : Atmosphere GCM (2005, background): “…with ocean GCMs have demonstrated that much of the variability in the North Atlantic Ocean, including the THC, can be explained as an ocean response to atmospheric variability (e.g., Halliwell 1997, 1998; Visbeck et al. 1998; Sea-ger et al. 2000; Eden and Willebrand 2001; Eden and Jung 2001 .”
