TIPMIP-OCEAN performs and analyses experiments with ESMs and AOGCMs. Studies of AMOC tipping have shown a great sensitivity to the amount of freshwater added (e.g. through ice loss from Greenland), so the focus of this domain includes Secondary Forcing experiments to explore this sensitivity to freshwater input. This includes both idealized freshwater hosing experiments and more realistic experiments based on past and projected Greenland ice loss.
