meridional

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation is one of the most important fundamental features of the climate system.

One of these is the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, or AMOC—the ocean conveyor belt.

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation is a vital system of ocean currents that circulates water throughout the Atlantic Ocean, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

This is how scientists figured out what is called the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, or "AMOC" for short.

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation — or "AMOC" for short — can be likened to a series of conveyor belts.
