Predicted slowdown in the rate of Atlantic sea ice loss (2015, background): “Variations in the winter buoyancy forcing of the subpolar Atlantic Ocean associated with the NAO are believed to generate significant decadal variance in AMOC strength [Häkkinen, 1999; Biastoch et al., 2008; Lohmann et al., 2009; Yeager and Danabasoglu, 2014].”
Bi-decadal variability excited in the coupled ocean–atmosphere system by strong tropical volcanic eruptions (2012, background): “Their implication on the sea ice anomaly in the Labrador Sea benefits from synergies with the anomalous subpolar gyre developed at this stage (Fig. 10a) due to an emerging anomalous IGG-type circulation (Fig. 4c): The subpolar gyre configuration resembles typical traits of observed (e.g., Bersch 200”
The Impact of the North Atlantic Oscillation on Climate through Its Influence on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (2016, unknown): “…to NAO-like atmospheric forcing has previously been studied in ocean-only models (Visbeck et al. 1998; Eden and Willebrand 2001; Eden and Jung 2001; Lohmann et al. 2009; Zhai et al. 2014) and ocean reanalyses (Huang et al. 2012), and an approximate 5–10-yr time scale of the ocean’s response to the…”
A decadal prediction case study: Late twentieth-century North Atlantic Ocean heat content (2012, background): “As discussed in section 4, the abrupt shift from strong NAO1 conditions to NAO2 in late 1995 appears to have set the timing of the SPG regime shift in nature.”
Observations, inferences, and mechanisms of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: A review (2016, background): “Analyses of extreme events, such as the record-breaking cold, negative NAO winters of 2009–2010, indicate that there may be some periods in which the NAO responds more strongly to SST anomalies, rather than being primarily forced by internal atmospheric processes.”
Large bio-geographical shifts in the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean: From the subpolar gyre, via plankton, to blue whiting and pilot whales (2009, methodology): “…of the circulation and hydrography in the North Atlantic subpolar gyre (Hátún et al., 2005a,b), and has been used to explore the sensitivity of the ocean circulation in the region to the actual ocean initial state and the atmospheric forcing (Lohmann et al., 2008, accepted for publication).”
State of the climate in 2010 (2011, background): “Such anomalous local events may be a precursor to changes in the MOC strength (e.g., Lohmann et al. 2009).”
