    "abstract": "We reconsider the problem of the stability of the thermohaline circulation as\ndescribed by a two-dimensional Boussinesq model with mixed boundary conditions.\nWe determine how the stability properties of the system depend on the intensity\nof the hydrological cycle. We define a two-dimensional parameters\u0027 space\ndescriptive of the hydrology of the system and determine, by considering\nsuitable quasi-static perturbations, a bounded region where multiple equilibria\nof the system are realized. We then focus on how the response of the system to\nfinite-amplitude surface freshwater forcings depends on their rate of increase.\nWe show that it is possible to define a robust separation between slow and fast\nregimes of forcing. Such separation is obtained by singling out an estimate of\nthe critical growth rate for the anomalous forcing, which can be related to the\ncharacteristic advective time scale of the system.",
