Physical Climate Processes and Feedbacks (2001, result): “A notable exception is one coupled climate model (Latif et al., 2000), but this result must be corroborated with other comprehensive climate models that are capable of resolving well both ENSO and the THC processes.”
The role of the oceans in climate (2003, background): “As this is a zone of potential deep-water formation, variations in the iceberg melt could have a significant impact on the southern arm of the THC.”
Deep-ocean heat uptake and equilibrium climate response (2013, background): “The increase of the AMOC with stationary 4 9 CO2 forcing is due to the salt advection feedback as found by Latif et al. (2000).”
The stability of the MOC as diagnosed from model projections for pre-industrial, present and future climates (2011, background): “Also, the response of ENSO to a collapse of the MOC may lead to evaporation changes over the Atlantic that consist of a negative feedback ( Latif et al. 2000 ).”
Could changing ocean circulation have destabilized methane hydrate at the Paleocene/Eocene boundary? (2002, methodology): “Strict quantification of forcings and feedbacks in such a system is probably not feasible with existing coupled models, given that such models being used for future climate change research do not agree on the fundamental question of whether a future doubling of atmospheric CO2 will stabilize or dest”
ENSO suppression due to weakening of the North Atlantic thermohaline circulation (2005, unknown): “Some greenhouse simulations (J. M. Oberhuber 1999, personal communication; Latif et al. 2000) exhibit a rather stable THC due to changes in the Atlantic–Pacific water vapor transport induced by a warming of the eastern equatorial Pacific, whereas other climate model simulations seem to operate…”
Coherent Resonant Millennial-Scale Climate Oscillations Triggered by Massive Meltwater Pulses (2003, background): “E-mail: atimmermann@ifm.uni-kiel.de torf and Ganopolski 1999; Schmittner and Stocker 1999; Stocker et al. 2001) or whether it remains relatively stable (J. M. Oberhuber 1999, personal communication; Latif et al. 2000).”
Implications of the Recent Trend in the Arctic/North Atlantic Oscillation for the North Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation (2000, background): “For example, Latif et al. (2000) suggest that increased evaporation in the subtropical Atlantic could oppose any THC weakening.”
The role of the thermohaline circulation in abrupt climate change (2002, background): “This indicates the possible dominance of negative feedback mechanisms such as changes in the amplitude and frequency of ENS”
Reconstructing, Monitoring, and Predicting Multidecadal-Scale Changes in the North Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation with Sea Surface Temperature (2004, methodology): “Low-frequency changes of the THC may arise from internal interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere (e.g., Latif 1998 ) and/or in response to external forcing, such as global warming (e.g., Rahmstorf 1999).”
Will Greenland melting halt the thermohaline circulation? (2006, methodology): “The recovery of the AMOC in the 22nd century is due to the salt advection feedback described by Latif et al. [2000] .”
Simulated variability of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (2004, background): “Latif et al. 2000; Gent 2001; Sun and Bleck 2001) of the AMOC are found at the end of the twenty first century.”
Ocean Circulation and Tropical Variability in the Coupled Model ECHAM5/MPI-OM (2006, background): “Latif et al. (2000) showed that tropical feedbacks even influence the stability of the thermohaline circulation (THC).”
Global Climatic Impacts of a Collapse of the Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation (2002, background): “In particular, changes to the ocean gyre transport and the hydrological cycle can act as important stabilising mechanisms for the THC (Latif et al., 2000; Thorpe et al., 2001; Vellinga et al., 2002).”
What are robust strategies in the face of uncertain climate threshold responses? (2012, result): “While the results of Stocker and Schmittner (1997) suggest that the MOC is sensitive to climate change, other models report the presence of stabilizing feedbacks that make the MOC virtually insensitive to global warming (Latif et al. 2000).”
