Atlantic meridional overturning current. It’s an ocean current that draws warm water up from the east coast of South/Central America, north and eastward
this shows about three times as much heat entering the system in the Gulf and Caribbean (~1.2 petawatts) than is brought from the South Atlantic and Indian Ocean (0.4PW).
I know I could google it, I was just prodding the folks who drop nothing but an acronym to provide a little more explanation in with their post than just some uncommon letter string. The other posts that explain it weren’t there at the time of my post.
What does that stand for?
