Eyesore alarm 😁
AMOC Figure 1A from #ReneVanWesten et al 2024 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adk1189 depicts the fictional, modelled AMOC in a pre-industrial environment with only freshwater added continuously.
I took the liberty to superimpose a chart on it with AMOC proxy data from #Thornalley 2018 and #Rahmstorf 2015.
All three were "produced" in a pre-industrial world. But Rahmstorf's and Thornalley's AMOC comprise the effects of greenhouse gases #GHG and land-use change #LUC, and all that comes with them.
I'm just sharing it for , dunno, well, to share the shock. The similarity had struck me when I saw vanWesten's chart and recalled the one from Thornalley. It has a peak early on, just like the computed model, and races downhill approximately after the same amount of years as the model run. It also has a slow decline before the cliff like the model but I can't make that visible, somehow.
Data for Thornalley and Rahmstorf can be found in Caesar 2021's data repository https://github.com/ncahill89/AMOC-Analysis
