Warning of a forthcoming collapse of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation
P. Ditlevsen and S. Ditlevsen
The collapse of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) may be looming, with significant implications for the North Atlantic climate. Researchers Peter Ditlevsen and Susanne Ditlevsen investigate early-warning signals indicating a potential collapse by mid-century if current emissions continue.
