Description
Nature runs are state-of-the-art numerical simulations that are as close as possible to reality that can be used as reference for design of observational arrays and/or data assimilation. We will review the current status of basin-scale to global-scale AMOC modeling and define the minimum requirements that a numerical model should be able to reproduce (mean transport and water mass characteristics of upper and lower NADW, mean DWBC depth and pathways, overflow representation, interannual variability, latitudinal coherence, etc.).
