The Atlantic MOC, in particular, is believed to play an active role in the regional and global climate variability. It is associated with the recent debate on rapid climate change, the Atlantic Multi-Decadal Oscillation (AMO), global warming, and Atlantic hurricanes. This is the first book to deal with all aspects of the ocean's large-scale meridional overturning circulation, and is a coh 410 0$aGeophysical monograph ;$v173. 606 $aMeridional overturning circulation 606 $aOcean circulation 615 0$aMeridional overturning circulation. 615 0$aOcean circulation. 676 $a551.46/2 701 $aChiang$b John C.
