(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Due to large northward heat transport, the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) strongly affects the climate of various regions. Its internal variability has been shown to be predictable decades ahead within ...
    • Predictable Variations of the Carbon Sinks and Atmospheric CO2 Growth in a Multi-Model Framework 

      Ilyina, Tatiana; Hongmei, Li; Spring, Aaron; Müller, Wolfgang A.; Bopp, Laurent; Chikamoto, Megumi O.; Danabasoglu, Gokhan; Dobrynin, Mikhail; Dunne, John P.

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Inter-annual to decadal variability in the strength of the land and ocean carbon sinks impede accurate predictions of year-to-year atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) growth rate. Such information is crucial to verify the ...
