Dear Colleagues,
Apology for any cross-postings. We would like to draw your attention to our AGU2020 session on "Advances in Understanding the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation from past to future: structure, sensitivity, and detectability". We have two exciting invited contributions by Sophia Hines and Xiaopei Lin.
This session welcomes theoretical, modeling and proxy-based studies that investigate the nature, stability and sensitivity of the AMOC to external forcing and internal feedbacks across decadal-to-tectonic timescales. Contributions that explore AMOC changes under past or future climate conditions as well as the detectability of present AMOC variations are particularly welcome.
The deadline for abstract submission is Wednesday, July 29th.
Full description of the sessions can be viewed online with the link below and is also included at the end of the e-mail for your convenience:

PP002. Advances in Understanding the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation from past to future: structure, sensitivity, and detectability
Session Description:
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a major driver of Earth's climate. Paleoclimate reconstructions and modeling studies have highlighted the close link between changes in the climate system on various timescales and variations in the structure and/or magnitude of Atlantic overturning. Yet, much remains to be understood about the interplay between AMOC changes and the cryosphere, atmosphere and ocean biogeochemistry, and the mechanisms driving past, present and future AMOC variations. New insights into these important aspects of AMOC dynamics are thus essential, in particular to improve our predictive capability of AMOC changes under future climate conditions. This session welcomes theoretical, modeling and proxy-based studies that investigate the nature, stability and sensitivity of the AMOC to external forcing and internal feedbacks across decadal-to-tectonic timescales. Contributions that explore AMOC changes under past or future climate conditions as well as the detectability of present AMOC variations are particularly welcome.
