Due to the gradual decrease in flow of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and given the geographical position, a change in climate in the Netherlands is expected (Van den Dool, 2025) & (Carrington, Damian, 2025). The AMOC transports warm ocean water to Northern Europe leading to a temperate maritime climate in the Netherlands. A gradually decreasing or complete collapse of the AMOC certainly results in a colder Northern Europe. Resulting lower air and surface temperatures, will impact ice formation on rivers, such as the Maas. Other claims of consequences in case of an AMOC collapse are: less precipitation in Europe, and faster sea level rise in the Atlantic Ocean (Van den Dool, 2025). ...
