Try a Google search. "Atlantic conveyor" will find quite a few. I've
also tried "North Atlantic Drift cease" which came up with some more.
You could probably try a few more combinations - including "Gulf Stream"
though this isn't the correct name for the current.

The first time I came across this subject was back in the 1960s.
Unfortunately I can't remember the book, author, or publisher.

I have been a bit surprised that sudden cessations of the NAD are being
said to have been discovered only about 15 years ago. I think that what
is meant is that the cause for these cessations has been found.
