| Zusammenfassung |
| I will review the history of ideas that led to the establishment of the monitoring system for the
Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) at 26.5-N. The results show a
magnitude of AMOC variability that surprised most people. I will discuss a number
of applications of the AMOC observations, including: Can models simulate the
observed AMOC variability? When might a secular change in the AMOC be detectable
against its natural variability? What is the potential for decadal prediction of the
AMOC and North Atlantic temperatures? I will end on discussing the indirect yet
profound role that Fritz Schott played in establishing the AMOC monitoring system. |
