The AMOC in the Kiel Climate Model
WP 3.1 Suitability of the ocean observation system components for initialization PI: Mojib LatifWith contribution from: Wonsun Park, Thomas Martin, Fritz Krger, Jin BaNACLIM Kickoff Meeting 5- 9 November, 2012
MotivationModes of variability / time scales and forcingDynamics of the multi-decadal modePredictability and initializationObservation
AMOC: RAPID array (26.5N)
Transport timeseries obtained from the first 3.5 years of observations at 26.5N. The different curves show the MOC (red line) and its constituents, i.e. the transport through the Florida Straits (blue line), the Ekman transport (black line), and the density driven transport obtained from the mooring data (pink line). The transport units are Sverdrups (Sv, 1Sv = 106m3s-1). The mean and standard deviations for the different transports are 18.5 4.9Sv (MOC), 31.7 2.8Sv (Florida Straits), 3.5 3.4Sv (Ekman), and -16.6 3.2Sv (transport from mooring densities).http://www.noc.soton.ac.uk
