Short summary
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is weakening in response to global warming, while the Nordic Seas Overturning Circulation (NOC) is projected to strengthen. We suggest a feedback mechanism in which a weakened AMOC leads to reduced salt transport into the North Atlantic, decreasing the density in that region and potentially strengthening the NOC.
