Scientific paper

Using a climate model, the effect of strong cooling on the ocean overturning circulation is investigated. The cooling has a profound impact. Essentially, the conversion of dense water of Northern Hemisphere origin to lighter water shifts from taking place predominantly in the Southern Ocean in the present day, relatively warm climate to the low-latitude oceans in the cold climate. The main factors contributing to this reorganization of oceanic overturning are related to the changes in oceanic stratification and wind field.
