Southern Ocean community comment on the Year of Polar Prediction Implementation Plan
Louise Newman,S Ackley,Matthew R. Mazloff,Benjamin K. Galton-Fenzi,Patrick Heimbach,François Massonnet,J Shi,Lynne D. Talley,M Sparow +8 more
TL;DR: The Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP) as discussed by the authors aims to "enable a significant improvement in environmental prediction capabilities for the polar regions and beyond, by coordinating a period of intensive observing, modelling, prediction, verification, user-engagement and education activities".
State estimation of Atlantic Ocean circulation at the Last Glacial Maximum
TL;DR: In this paper, state estimation techniques were applied to Atlantic Ocean circulation at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and an extended North Atlantic (33S to 75N) was modeled using the MIT General Circulation Model using the ICE-5G 21K bathymetry and first guess atmospheric forcing fields from fully coupled CCSM3 LGM simulations.
Connecting paleo and modern oceanographic data to understand AMOC over decades to centuries

TL;DR: This paper found that AMOC mean transport is related to mixed layer depths and Labrador Sea salt content, whereas interannual variability is primarily associated with Labrador Sea temperature anomalies, consistent with the hypothesized importance of salt balance for AMOC variability on geological timescales.
