Observations, inferences, and mechanisms of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: A review (2016, background): “…for the meridional communication of buoyancy (and hence AMOC) anomalies have been proposed: (1) slow advection of buoyancy anomalies by the mean DWBC or interior pathways and (2) rapid meridional propagation of anomalies via boundary waves [e.g., Kawase, 1987; Johnson and Marshall, 2002a].”
Dynamic sea level changes following changes in the thermohaline circulation (2004, result): “Consistent with previous theoretical work by (Hsieh and Bryan, 1996), (Johnson and Marshall, 2002) and (Johnson and Marshall, 2004) the signal takes several years to be transported across the Equator.”
Climate Fluctuations of Tropical Coupled Systems—The Role of Ocean Dynamics (2006, background): “2000; Jochum and Malanotte-Rizzoli 2001) and the “equatorial buffer” mechanism (Johnson and Marshall 2002; Yang 1999).”
Past, Present, and Future Changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (2012, background): “This coher- ence is related to the propagation of waves along the western boundary of the North Atlantic as well as much slower advective signals (time scales of months and years, respectively; cf. Johnson and Marshall 2002).”
Atmospheric bridge, oceanic tunnel, and global climatic teleconnections (2007, background): “However, the abyssal circulation can adjust rapidly in decades to centuries through the propagation of oceanic waves (Figure 10) [Kawase, 1987; Johnson and Marshall, 2002].”
ENSO suppression due to weakening of the North Atlantic thermohaline circulation (2005, unknown): “This new equilibrium state is partly established by an adiabatic adjustment process that involves the propagation of Kelvin and Rossby waves (Kawase 1987; Suginohara and Fuakasawa 1988; Wajsowicz 1986; Döscher et al. 1994; Goodman 2001; Hsieh and Bryan 1996; Huang et al. 2000; Johnson and Marshall 2”
Mechanism of interdecadal thermohaline circulation variability in a coupled ocean : Atmosphere GCM (2005, background): “work of Johnson and Marshall (2002). Figure 3c shows a comparison between the leading principal component of the MOC and the leading prin-”
Twentieth-century global-mean sea-level rise: is the whole greater than the sum of the parts? (2013, background): “…al. 2005; Prandi et al. 2009); on the other hand, model studies of the response to buoyancy forcing indicate that the consequent signal of sea level rise would propagate rapidly around coastlines and radiate more slowly into the ocean far offshore (Hsieh and Bryan 1996; Johnson and Marshall 2002).”
Simulated variability of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (2004, background): “It is clear from the complexity and the still incomplete theoretical understanding of the system (e.g. Jayne and Marotzke 2001; Johnson and Marshall 2002), that in-depth studies involving theoretical and observational analysis, together with (simplified and complex) model studies, are required to…”
Latitudinal dependence of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) variations (2010, background): “Because of no cross‐boundary flow condition along the western boundary, the anomalous velocity propagates southward with rapid coastal Kelvin waves [Kawase, 1987; Johnson and Marshall, 2002].”
Meridional coherence of the North Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (2007, methodology): “The discrepancy between the propagation time of 30 days reported by Johnson and Marshall [2002] could easily be due to the highly idealised configuration of their model domain which produces only Kelvin waves”
Adjustment of the coupled ocean–atmosphere system to a sudden change in the Thermohaline Circulation (2002, background): “…understand the processes through which the climate system responds to a sudden change in the THC. [3] The processes that govern the ocean response to a sudden change in the THC have been widely studied [Kawase, 1987; Doscher et al., 1994; Yang, 1999; Goodman, 2001; Johnson and Marshall, 2002].”
