The AMOC is slowing, it’s stable, it’s slowing, no, yes, …

Real Climate

The background to this discussion is familiar to our regular readers (else just enter ‘AMOC’ in the RealClimate search field): proper measurements of the AMOC flow are only available since 2004 in the RAPID project , thus for earlier times we need to use indirect clues. 2018 (Fig.

The Rise and Fall of the “Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation”

Real Climate

Shindell et al, 2004 ). In our new article, my co-authors (Byron Steinman, Daniel Brouillette, Sonya Miller) and I analyzed the CMIP5 “last millennium” simulations (16 in total) that span the interval 850-1849 CE. This comparison suggests that the natural radiative forcing must be responsible for the apparent AMO-like signal.

Physics: The Science of the Universe and Everything In It

Environmental Science

One of the worst seismological disasters of the modern age happened at Christmas 2004 when an earthquake under the ocean causes a massive tsunami, killing around 250,000 people. When the ground moves, it creates ripples on the land. Earthquakes that occur at sea create ripples in the water that cause tsunamis. Particle Physics.
