Project 6 – Southern Ocean Winds and Overturning
What controls the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)?- Read Toggweiler & Samuels 1995
- Re-revaluate their claims (ie AMOC ~ SO winds) with a model that uses isopycnal diffusion (Veros) instead of horizontal diffusion
- Hint: doubling taux south of 12S is done by
vs.surface_taux[:, vs.yt < -12] *= 2 - Is the SO dependence of the AMOC stronger or weaker in Veros?
