Here is a thread on the AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation):
Climate change might not slow ocean circulation as much as thought

Wen et al. had a paper out earlier this year that modeled the effect of the warming of the Tibetan Plateau in central Asia on North Atlantic circulation. The teleconnections resulted in less precipitation over the Atlantic and thus higher salinity. This enhances the deep-water formation in the subpolar North Atlantic and thus strengthens the AMOC.

Together with colleagues, Lars H. Smedsrud, professor at UiB and researcher at the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, have examined 100 years of research results to see how the ocean transport has evolved. “It was surprising to find such consistent results that show a steady increase, which entails that the Gulf Stream’s extension into the Nordic Seas has strengthened”, professor Lars H. Smedsrud says. With the surprising volume increase, the total heat transport has increased by 30 percent.
