Extended Data Fig. 9

Maximum of the AMOC streamfunction and potential energy released by convection in the Southern Ocean for model simulations with a, d, g interglacial (present-day) ice sheets (left), b, e, h mid-glacial ice sheets (middle) and c, f, i full glacial (LGM) ice sheets (right) with different amplitudes of the Heinrich event (increasing from top to bottom) and different prescribed constant CO2 concentrations (180, 220 and 280 ppm) as indicated by the colored lines and the legend.
