• Critical freshwater forcing for AMOC tipping in climate models – compensation matters (2026) · Earth System Dynamics · cited 1× · doi

  However, these two different compensation methods have so far only been compared in a single, coarse-resolution climate model, and therefore little is known robustly about the effect of salinity compensation on the AMOC tipping point.

• North Atlantic response to a quasi-realistic Greenland meltwater forcing in eddy-rich EC-Earth3P-VHR hosing simulations (2026) · Ocean science · doi

  The majority of studies on the impact of freshwater from ice sheet melting on the AMOC use climate models that cannot resolve mesoscale ocean processes. - These models do not include an accurate spatio-temporal distribution of the freshwater forcing, which critically affects the nature of the AMOC response.
