Extended Data Fig. 9: Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation response to subtropical MCB and future warming.

Change in Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) to subtropical MCB under 2010 conditions (a) and 2050 conditions (b). c, Change in AMOC due to warming under SSP2-4.5 without MCB. d, Change in AMOC between the 2050 subtropical MCB and 2010 no MCB cases, where near-zero values indicate a restoration of present-day conditions from MCB. The x-axis shows the latitude of the zonal mean, the y-axis shows depth from the sea surface, and the shading shows the AMOC strength in Sverdrups (Sv). 30-year difference from monthly mean output is plotted. Note the different color bar scale to Fig. 4a.
