The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a crucial component of the Earth's climate system, responsible for transporting warm, salty water from the tropics to the North Atlantic. This circulation helps regulate temperatures and influences weather patterns across the globe. As the warm water moves north, it cools and becomes denser, eventually sinking and returning southward at deeper ocean levels. Changes in the AMOC can have significant impacts on climate, including shifts in rainfall patterns and sea level rise, making it a vital area of study for understanding climate change.
