Abstract
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)—
one of Earth’s major ocean circulation systems—redistributes
heat on our planet and has a major impact on climate. Here, we
compare a variety of published proxy records to reconstruct
the evolution of the AMOC since about ad 400. A fairly consistent picture of the AMOC emerges: after a long and relatively
stable period, there was an initial weakening starting in the
nineteenth century, followed by a second, more rapid, decline
in the mid-twentieth century, leading to the weakest state of
the AMOC occurring in recent decades.
