November 20, 2023: Following the upper and lower limbs of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

Due to large incoming solar radiation in tropical regions, the upper layers of the Atlantic Ocean gain heat at low latitudes. Ocean currents are set in motion to re-distribute this heat to higher latitudes, warming up the atmosphere along their path and contributing to mild weather conditions over Europe. This corresponds to the upper limb of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation - AMOC for short ...
