ABSTRACT
The northward heat transfer by the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is one of the main mechanisms that drive Earth’s climate. To help to understand the AMOC and its variability, the South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (SAMOC) program has been set forth with the endorsement of CLIVAR. This program includes the monitoring of meridional fluxes across a transatlantic line along 34.5oS, the SAMOC Basin Wide Array (SAMBA), and the conduction high-resolution numerical simulations. One of these experiments is being executed with a 1/12-Degree, global implementation of HYCOM with the objective to investigate the response of the ocean to changes observed in the atmosphere in the past 50 years. Results of preliminary analysis and evaluation of a recently completed run will be presented, with focus on the South Atlantic.
