Atlantic meridional overturning circulation variability since the last glaciation: Insights from a novel multiproxy approach
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-11-11)Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) transports warm surface water northward across the equator, carrying heat from the Southern to the Northern Hemisphere. AMOC plays a central role in the global redistribution ... -
The effect of lower sea level on geostrophic transport through the Florida Straits during the last glacial maximum
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-01-14)We investigate the effect of a 120 meter sea level drop on transport through the Caribbean Sea and the Florida Straits during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) relative to the present, using the Regional Ocean Modeling System ... -
Paleo-proxies for the thermocline and lysocline over the last glacial cycle in the Western Tropical Pacific
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-05-14)The shape of the thermocline and the depth of the lysoline in the western tropical Pacific are both influenced by the overlying atmosphere, and both the shape of thermocline and the depth of the lysocline can be reconstructed ... -
Stalagmite reconstructions of western tropical pacific climate from the last glacial maximum to present
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-04-01)The West Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP) plays an important role in the global heat budget and global hydrologic cycle, so knowledge about its past variability would improve our understanding of global climate. Variations in WPWP ...
