1/ Excited to share my new paper w @radleyhorton in @NatureClimate on exceptional land warming in coastal northeastern US and its connection to atmospheric circulation changes and AMOC-related SST increase in the adjacent shelf region of the Atlantic.

3/ @chriscmooney et al published a story in 2019 (part of ‘2C: Beyond the Limit’ series that won Pulitzer) highlighting warming in the Northeast.

Our study tries to explore potential links to AMOC & NAO.
4/ A number of recent studies show that the AMOC is slowing down and one consequence of that is stronger SST warming off the North American coast. Here is a blog post by @rahmstorf from 2020 summarizing several recent studies: realclimate.org/index.php/arch…
5/ Obs show rapid SST warming off the Northeast coast: Left figure from @Sci_Officer et al. 2015 science.org/doi/full/10.11…
That SST warming is projected to continue (in high res ocean models) if the AMOC weakens further. Right figure from Saba et al. 2016: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

6/ We discuss possible links between NE US warming, AMOC, & NAO using obs+reanalysis data. Also include prelim analyses of #CMIP6 expts (hist, HighResMIP) & CESM-LE showing models' ability to capture local features, highlighting the imp of high res models. nature.com/articles/s4155…
7/ This work raises qs abt ocean-atmos (AMOC-NAO) interactions on diff timescales (lead-lags, drivers), seasonality of regional SST-SAT changes, future projections, & impacts.
So much to do 😃
... so little funding 😟
Pls reach out if you have ?s, thoughts abt the paper
