a Annual mean (thin lines) and decadally filtered (thick lines, 21 yr Hamming window) strength of the AMOC in density coordinates (AMOCσ) at 34°S (solid lines) and at 26°N (dashed lines). b Annual rate of change in decadally filtered AMOCσ strength as a function of time and latitude. c Annual rate of change in decadally filtered AL strength, as simulated with SIMJRA. d–f Same as panels a to c but for SIMCORE.
