Future atmospheric and ocean warming over the 21st century might be larger than previously expected based on a new study by @linusvogt.bsky.social

Linus & I developed the idea during Linus research visit with me at @whoi.edu and turned it then into this paper:

Increased future ocean heat uptake constrained by Antarctic sea ice extent

🚨🌊 New highlight paper out today in Earth System Dynamics!

We find an observational constraint implying more future global ocean heat uptake, cloud feedback, and warming than the CMIP6 mean.

This contrasts with previous estimates based on past warming trends.

Check out this very nice piece of work led by @linusvogt.bsky.social that untangles the processes controlling the efficiency of the world's ocean to capture climate change heat!

Maybe this @johncullenocean.bsky.social et al. piece where they said — "adding iron to the ocean is not an effective way to fight climate change, and we don't need further research to establish that" — wasn't straightforward enough because this idea just won't die. 🤷🏻‍♂️

🌊 The N.Atlantic has been experiencing extreme T°C in 2023. This situation raises a number of questions: Have we missed something? Do climate models allow us to understand such an event, or have we entered a new climate regime?
We attempted to answer these questions in this study:

10 Stefan mentions in his blog that our study “does not change the assessment of the risk and impact of future AMOC changes in response to global warming”. After discussing this further, he confirmed that his view aligns with the IPCC’s medium confidence that the AMOC will not collapse before 2100.

@glenpeters.bsky.social makes an important point here.

I often ready in 🌊 #mCDR papers: IPCC says we need #CDR to achieve our climate targets, as all scenarios that reach these goals include a certain level of CDR.

Has the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) weakened over the last decades? In our new study, we combine state-of-the-art CMIP6 models and observation-based estimates of the air-sea heat flux in the North Atlantic to show that the AMOC has not declined since the 1960s! 🌊
Atlantic overturning inferred from air-sea heat fluxes indicates no decline since the 1960s - Nature Communications
