AB - <jats:p>To study the role of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation(AMOC) in climate change, we perform an abrupt CO2-doubling experimentusing a coupled atmosphere-ocean-ice model with a simple geometry thatseparates the ocean into small and large basins. As in observations andhigh-end climate models, the small basin exhibits a MOC and warms at afaster rate than the large basin. In our set-up, this contrast in heatstorage rates is 0.6 +/- 0.1 W/m^2, and we argue that this is due tothe small basin MOC. However, the MOC weakens significantly, yet thishas little impact on the small basin’s heat storage rate. We find thisis due to the effects of both compensating warming patterns andinterbasin heat transports. Thus, although the presence of a MOC isimportant for enhanced heat storage, MOC weakening is surprisinglyunimportant.</jats:p>
