Abstract:
Despite being intensively studied over the past decade, certain aspects of the meridional overturning circulation (MOC), defined as the zonally integrated northward flow at a particular latitude, remain elusive. In particular, the linkage between MOC variability in the subtropical and subpolar basins on interannual to decadal time scales is unresolved. In this seminar, I will discuss our current understanding of the throughput between these two gyres, the mechanisms responsible for its temporal variability and the relationship between the throughput and the MOC.
