- The Greenland Sea is often viewed as the northern terminus of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. It has also been proposed that the shutdown of open-ocean deep convection in the Labrador or Greenland Seas would substantially weaken the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.

In this scenario, a weakened AMOC would also slow down Arctic sea ice decline and delay the emergence of an ice-free Arctic by around 6 years, as well as preventing over 50% of sea ice loss on the edges of Labrador Sea, Greenland Sea, Barents Sea, and Sea of Okhotsk in the years 2061–2080.
Dec 13, 2016 · The most recent IPCC assessment report concludes that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could weaken substantially, but is very unlikely to collapse in the 21 st century.
Oct 23, 2023 · First, the sea ice cover was reduced over the GIN Sea (Greenland, Iceland, and Norwegian Seas), which increased the heat loss to the atmosphere and enhanced the deep convection in the North Atlantic and, in turn, the AMOC [95,104].
