Constraining variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation at 25N from historical observations, 1980 to 2005
No full textThe Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) plays an important role inmaintaining western Europe’s moderate climate. Although expected to weaken underincreasing greenhouse gas concentrations, the magnitude of the response remainsuncertain. Monitoring of the Atlantic MOC strength at 25ºN commenced in 2004 as partof the UK Rapid Climate Change programme. Prior to this, detection of such a slowingof the MOC and its associated meridional heat transport was inhibited by the temporallysparse observations of its strength. This thesis aims to extend the time series of AtlanticMOC at 25ºN back to 1980 using historical observations, thus constraining themagnitude of its recent interannual variability.Analysis of transatlantic hydrographic sections at 25ºN show the annual average MOCto have varied in strength by approximately 25% over the last 50 years, with weakeroverturning in 2004 than previously computed. Temporal resolution of the dataset isincreased through decomposition of the Atlantic MOC at this latitude into its Ekmancomponent computed from wind stress climatology, transport of the Florida Currentfrom cable observations and mid-ocean geostrophic transport from CTD or mooredtemperature and pressure derived boundary dynamic height profiles. The resulting timeseries constrain interannual fluctuations of the Ekman, Florida Straits and mid-oceanbaroclinic geostrophic transports at ± 1, ± 2, and ± 3 Sv respectively between 1980 and2005. In addition to interannual fluctuations in strength, evidence is found for a 2 to 3Sv weakening of the MOC between 1980 and 2005. The underlying changes ofincreased mid-ocean southward transport of thermocline waters and decreasedsouthward flow of lower North Atlantic Deep Water are consistent in sign, although ofreduced magnitude, with the transatlantic hydrographic sections observations. Thisthesis presents and discusses these findings along with the relative merits of differentdatasets for detecting such variability

"The 'Chicago Plan' and New Deal Banking Reform"
No full textDuring the 1930s, there were numerous proposals put forth to modify the financial system. The "Chicago Plan," submitted in 1933 by economists at the University of Chicago, recommended abolition of the fractional reserve system and imposition of 100% reserves on demand deposits. Despite the radical nature of this proposal, Phillips argues that it played an important, and hitherto neglected, role in the banking legislation passed during the New Deal. The paper addresses the question of whether our present financial problems might have been avoided had the - "Chicago Plan" been fully implemented during the New Deal. Phillips provides a historical analysis of banking reform during that era, and explores the reasons why the Chicago Plan was not adopted. On the surface, it appears to have been defeated as a matter of pure political expediency. The Banking Act of 1935, by institutionalizing Federal deposit insurance and the separation of commercial and investment banking, successfully restored the public's confidence in the banking system. Moreover, Roosevelt was satisfied since the act permitted enhanced control over monetary policy by a reconstituted Federal Reserve. The Chicago Plan ultimately succumbed to alternative (and less stringent) measures embodied in the Banking Act of 1935, but its principles (e.g. restricting bank assets and limiting taxpayers' liability from Federal deposit insurance) have reemerged in the contemporary debate over banking reform in this country: after all, there has been a rejuvenation of the 100% reserve plan via "narrow banking" or "core banking" proposals. Though the early New Deal legislation must be considered a success since it remained relatively unchanged for almost fifty years, a formidable challenge is posed in devising a financial system that will last well into the twenty-first century.

Discovery and quantification of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: the importance of 25N
No full textHere we present a review of the history of modern understanding of the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC), which arguably originates in 1957. This was the year that the Discovery cruises not only observed the Atlantic deep western boundary current for the first time, but also completed a transatlantic section along 24ºN, from which reliable estimates of the size and structure of the MOC were later obtained. It was also the year Stommel began to publish his estimates of the size of the Atlantic overturning. These key developments are put into the context of early qualitative pictures of the Atlantic MOC which can be traced back to 1798. The early proposals differed significantly from Wüst’s qualitativepicture of layered interhemispheric exchange, published in 1935 but still broadly accepted today, and on which subsequent quantification relied. Early estimates of the Atlantic MOC strength, as by-products of regional circulation schemes, were by today’s standard weak at 6-8 Sv. Stommel’s work from 1957 and later developments in the 1980’s produced much stronger overturning. Recognition of the importance of the MOC’s role in meridional heat transport, necessitating studies dedicated to its quantification, led to a consensus regarding its strength in the early 1980’s. The accepted 16-18 Sv MOC resulting from the 1957 Discovery section analysis supported Stommel’s 1957 work and has since been verified by independent observations. We examine only the steady state MOC here, understanding and quantification of its variability are still very much evolving
