What Happens to the Planet if the Indonesian Throughflow Stops?

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on several studies, including "The Role of Indonesian Throughflow in a Global Ocean GCM." by Hirst and Godfrey (1993), "The Indonesian Throughflow’s Effect on Global Climate Determined from the COLA Coupled Climate System" by Wajsowicz and Schneider (2001), "Effects of the Indonesian...

Strengthening of the Indonesian Throughflow Accelerated Indian Ocean Warming Contrary to Climate Model Projections

Figure 1 from Guo et al. (2026): Heat and volume transports across the IX1 section and within Makassar Strait. a, b Heat (a) and volume (b) transports of the upper 700 m across the IX1 section, based on relative geostrophic currents estimated with observational data of ocean temperature and salinity. The grey shading represents the... Continue Reading →

The warming hole has pushed the Atlantic summer jet stream southward

Fig. 1 from Sheng et al. (2026): Trend of the summer NAJ in the reanalyses and DAMIP simulations during 1980–2019. (A) ERA5 (the fifth generation European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts atmospheric reanalysis of the global climate) trend (in meters per second per decade) of the zonal wind at 250 hPa and at the...

The Rise and Fall of the Arctic Meridional Overturning Circulation (ArcMOC)

Fig. 13. from Bretones et al. (2022): Sketch summarizing the evolution of the deep mixing and the ArcMOC under the retreat of the sea ice edge. (a) During T0: 1970–80 there is deep convection on both sides of the Greenland–Scotland ridge. Both AMOC and ArcMOC are present, but the ArcMOC extent is limited by the... Continue Reading →
