气候模式低估了气候变暖下大西洋经向翻转环流崩溃的可能性。在温室气体强迫增加的情况下,大西洋经向翻转环流(AMOC)的变化在大多数气候模式的预测中是温和的。这种模型间的共识可能是一个共同的模型偏见,有利于稳定的AMOC的工件。基于观测的淡水收支分析表明,AMOC是在一个不稳定的制度,易受大的变化,以应对扰动。通过校正模型偏差,我们发现,AMOC崩溃300年后,大气CO2浓度突然从1990年的水平翻了一番。与未经修正的模式相比,AMOC崩溃带来了巨大的、明显不同的气候响应:北大西洋北方和邻近地区的显着冷却,格陵兰岛-冰岛-挪威海和格陵兰岛南部的海冰增加,热带大西洋上的雨带明显向南迁移。我们的研究结果强调了开发动态指标来约束模型的必要性,以及减少长期气候预测中模型偏差的重要性。
Climate models underestimate the possibility of a collapsed Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation under climate warming. Changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) are moderate in most climate model projections under increasing greenhouse gas forcing. This intermodel consensus may be an artifact of common model biases that favor a stable AMOC. Observationally based freshwater budget analyses suggest that the AMOC is in an unstable regime susceptible for large changes in response to perturbations. By correcting the model biases, we show that the AMOC collapses 300 years after the atmospheric CO2 concentration is abruptly doubled from the 1990 level. Compared to an uncorrected model, the AMOC collapse brings about large, markedly different climate responses: a prominent cooling over the northern North Atlantic and neighboring areas, sea ice increases over the Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian seas and to the south of Greenland, and a significant southward rain-belt migration over the tropical Atlantic. Our results highlight the need to develop dynamical metrics to constrain models and the importance of reducing model biases in long-term climate projection.
