A changing ocean conveyor belt and climate impacts

"The [Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation or "AMOC"] is a driver of how heat is distributed throughout the ocean, and one of the very basic components that regulates Earth’s climate. That means that if the AMOC varies, our climate will be affected. For example, if the system strengthens or slows down and thus more or less warm water gets to the North Atlantic than usual, it could cause erratic weather patterns or storms. My recent study suggests if the AMOC strengthens and more warm water is pushed north, it can lead to extended periods of high pressure systems in the North Atlantic and northern Europe that cause droughts." - Excerpt from a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute interview with Young-Oh Kwon
