12-15 July 2011, Bristol, U.K. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Observations and numerical modelling experiments have suggested links between variability in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and global climate patterns. Reduction in the strength of the overturning is thought to have played a key role in rapid climate change in the past and may have the potential to so in the future. This is the motivation for research conducted in the UK RAPID and US AMOC science programmes. The meeting is a joint initiative between the two programmes, and will explore the scientific understanding of Atlantic variability on a range of time scales, with a main focus of the role of the AMOC. |
