Description
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has been a key factor in the modulation of climate change both locally and globally in the past decades. However, in recent time the evolution of AMOC seems not clear. The degree of agreement between the state of AMOC depicted in the new simulations from the sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) and observation dataset is not well understood. Furthermore, the timescale for AMOC evolution in these datasets still remains debateable. If the result of these datasets differs reasonably, this could lead to bias in projected long term climate knowledge.
