This is super cool, Andrew! Nice work! I had been wanting to do something similar ever since reading Rodrigo Caballero's paper about poleward energy transport over a wide range of climates: doi.org/10.1029/2004...
The dynamic range of poleward energy transport in an atmospheric general circulation model
Understanding the reasons for which current climate models fail to reproduce the low equator-to-pole temperature gradient of past warm periods is among the major challenges in climate science. We foc....

Atlantic Ocean Current Expected to Undergo Limited Weakening with Climate Change
Caltech researchers, combining observations with an improved understanding of climate model behavior, suggest that a major Atlantic Ocean current will weaken far less under climate change than indicat...

Using ocean observations, we show that the real-world AMOC is closer in structure to the shallower models. This suggests that the AMOC will experience only limited weakening, even under high-emissions scenarios.

We resolve a long-standing puzzle: climate models with a stronger present-day AMOC project greater weakening. This occurs because their overturning is deeper which allows surface warming and freshening to penetrate further and disrupt circulation.
