The Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV) is a variation in sea surface temperature (SST) in the North Atlantic with a period of about 60-90 years. The drivers of this mode of variability are largely unknown as observational data only go back 150 years. Global climate models can help us better understand the AMV and its drivers and this thesis investigates how the AMV behaves in the Earth system
