Abstract
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) plays an important role in the coupled ocean-climate system and in global climate change. The analysis of its own behaviour and the understanding its links to other climate dynamics is of paramount importance today as we encounter an increasing pressure to adapt to climate change. Due to the enormous complexity, it is almost impossible to establish accurate models, purely based on first-principle modelling approaches, that can perfectly represent the relationships between the AMOC and other dynamic climate parameters. Data-based or data-driven modelling methods, can therefore provide an attractive alternative solution. Systematic regular and continuous measurement of the AMOC time series began in April 2004. The main objective of the paper is to use the monthly data of the AMOC measured during April 2004-Febuary 2017, together with the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index, and density anomalies of the Gulf of Mexico, Labrador Sea and Norwegian Sea, measured during the same period, to investigate and understand the quantitative relationship between the AMOC and four drivers (NAO and the three density anomaly variables). In doing so, nonlinear system identification methods and the Nonlinear AutoRegressive Moving Average with Exogenous input (NARMAX) method are employed to develop a quantitative model that relates the AMOC to the four drivers. Experimental results show that the derived nonlinear model skillfully captures and represents the dynamics of the AMOC based on the other four variables. One of the findings from this study is that the use of autoregressive variables can help improve the prediction of the AMOC.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
