The book covers all aspects of recent AMOC research: theory, ocean observations, palaeoceanographic data, and ocean and climate modelling.The Atlantic Meridional Overturning brings the reader up to date with what is happening in this exciting field of oceanographic research. As well as describing the physical processes that determine the AMOC, the author explores the impacts that changes in the AMOC can have on ocean biogeochemical processes and on the Earth’s climate. In particular, the possibility for abrupt changes. The book is written for Oceanographers including Professors, lecturers and researchers – teaching and carrying out research in Oceanography.
- Includes numerical ocean models such as coupled atmosphere-ocean climate models and how and when these should be used
- Presents theoretical insights such as Stommel’s box model
- Provides new information gathered from new technologies and how to interpret this data
Oceanographers - Professors, lecturers, researchers – teaching and carrying out research in oceanography Meteorology, Climate, Geography – teaching about the role of the AMOC in climate.

Meric Srokosz
Professor Meric Srokosz is an oceanographer at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK and Honorary Professor of Physical Oceanography at the University of Southampton. Since 2001, he has been the science coordinator of the RAPID programme which is focused on observing, modelling, and understanding the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and its role in climate. In addition to AMOC, his research interests include ocean waves, biophysical interactions, satellite oceanography, and the Agulhas and Madagascar current systems. He is lead author or co-author on 148 peer-reviewed publications and, with Dr Rebecca Watson, wrote the book Blue Planet, Blue God: the Bible and the Sea (2017, SCM).
