The meridional heat transport in the atmosphere-ocean system serves as the main control of the equator-to-pole temperature difference and indirectly influences also the mean global temperature. The underlying physics represent a complex interplay between fluid dynamics, cloud microphysics, and radiative transfer. Here, we consider the dynamics of the atmosphere-ocean system subjected to the range of environmental conditions characterizing glacial cycles and anthropogenic climate change.
