The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) plays a critical role in regulating global climate by transporting warm water from the tropics to the North Atlantic, influencing weather patterns, sea levels, and heat distribution. A weakening of the AMOC, potentially triggered by increased freshwater input from melting ice sheets and altered salinity gradients, could lead to significant climatic changes, including cooling in the North Atlantic region, altered precipitation patterns, and disruptions to marine ecosystems. Understanding AMOC dynamics and potential tipping points is vital for predicting and mitigating its impacts on global climate systems.
