I'm based in NCAS-Climate in Reading, and I'm working on the [[http://www.noc.soton.ac.uk/rapid/rw/projects/rapit.php | RAPID-RAPIT]] project, which is part of NERC's [[http://www.noc.soton.ac.uk/rapid/rw/ | RAPID_WATCH]] programme. RAPIT aims to produce a risk assessment for a collapse of the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) in the Atlantic ocean.
I'm using FAMOUS (as well as several other GCMs) to examine the mechanisms and impacts of the largest decadal-scale MOC fluctuations in unforced model simulations, to help us understand the feedbacks and processes involved, how they may differ from the processes involved in a more severe collapse, and what this might tell us about the risk of collapse.
I'm also doing some analysis of the FAMOUS MOC hysteresis experiments, which are discussed by [[CurrentWorkEd | Ed Hawkins]], to explore the mechanisms involved in producing a bi-stable regime of the MOC in FAMOUS.
