- At 26N the Atlantic overturning moves about 17 Sv north near the surface and south at depth, carrying about 1.2 PW of heat north
- A weaker overturning may carry less salt north, freshening the North Atlantic and weakening sinking further (salt-advection feedback)
- The Atlantic overturning will very likely decline over the 21st century under all emission scenarios (medium confidence that it will not collapse abruptly befor
