isopatch,
Remember some articles I posted awhile back about the cold fresh water run off creating a cold spot off of Greenland, causing the "Atlantic Conveyor" to abruptly slow or even stop. In this article they could be getting set up for the opposite of what they are worrying about: global warming, note last few paragraphs:

Melt water has also been shown to affect the rate of ice flow off Greenland directly, penetrating the ice sheet and causing the glaciers to accelerate in speed as they slide over a thin film of melt water.

The melting of sea ice, along with runoff from the Greenland Ice Sheet, could impact deep water convection in the North Atlantic, altering global ocean circulation and climate, said the UC's Serreze.

"In other studies, changes in the North Atlantic circulation have been implicated in starting and stopping Northern Hemisphere ice ages," he added.


All I have time for tonight. Local forecasters have consistently been overestimating the overnight lows in my area for a week and I have to do some work to confirm why.

But I think I already know,
