The ocean's response to North Atlantic Oscillation variability (2013, background): “To date, because of the expense to runs such experiments, only very few studies have addressed coupling on decadal and longer time scales [e.g. Delworth 1996, Delworth and Dixon 2000].”
System Design and Evaluation of Coupled Ensemble Data Assimilation for Global Oceanic Climate Studies (2007, background): “Estimation and prediction of the high-latitude oceans and the global ocean circulation may also benefit from ADA, given the link between atmospheric NAO and the MOC (Delworth and Greatbatch 2000; Delworth and Dixon 2000 ).”
The role of the thermohaline circulation in abrupt climate change (2002, background): “, or modifications of atmospheric variability patterns in the Northern Hemispher”
Response of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre to persistent North Atlantic oscillation like forcing (2009, methodology): “Häkkinen (1999), also using hindcast simulations with an OGCM, suggests that the increase in the AMOC and the meridional heat transport in the 1980s and 1990s results from changes in the surface fluxes related to the NAO, which are integrated by the upper ocean.”
Volcanic signals in oceans (2009, background): “The mechanism of the increase is similar to that described by Delworth and Dixon [2006], where an increase in the AMOC is attributable to increasing aerosols from human activity.”
Volcanic and Solar Forcing of Climate Change during the Preindustrial Era (2003, background): “…we regard the model simulation results as being less reliable over the oceans, as they do not include changes in ocean dynamics, which may be an important feedback , at least in the Atlantic where surface anomalies are buffered by communication with the deep ocean (Delworth and Dixon 2000).”
The Impact of the North Atlantic Oscillation on Climate through Its Influence on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (2016, unknown): “Previous modeling work has shown a clear connection between the NAO and the AMOC (Visbeck et al. 1998; Delworth and Greatbatch 2000; Delworth and Dixon 2000; Eden and Jung 2001).”
Is the thermohaline circulation changing (2006, methodology): “Coupled model integrations by Delworth and Dixon (2000) show that an anthropogenically induced slowdown of the MOC may be delayed by several decades in response to a sustained upward trend of the NAO during winter, such as has been observed over the last 30 yr. Ocean model studies indicate that NA”
Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 (CMIP5) simulations of climate following volcanic eruptions (2012, background): “While it is therefore possible that part of the surface response could be due to changes in NH ocean circulation, it is generally believed for AMOC changes, in particular, to be caused by the changes in wind stress due to positive NAO [Delworth and Dixon, 2000] that is a result of a stronger vortex ”
