Density changes of North Atlantic deep western boundary currents were not directly linked to Meridional Overturning Circulation strength in 2014-2018

Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) strength measured across the eastern and western sections of the OSNAP array.

A new international study has cast doubts on the view that variations in the density of some of the deepest currents of the subpolar North Atlantic Ocean are caused by winter surface conditions and represent changes in the strength of the Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC).
