  abstract = {{W}hile bidecadal climate variability has been evidenced in several {N}orth {A}tlantic paleoclimate records, its drivers remain poorly understood. {H}ere we show that the subset of {CMIP}5 historical climate simulations that produce such bidecadal variability exhibits a robust synchronization, with a maximum in {A}tlantic {M}eridional {O}verturning {C}irculation ({AMOC}) 15 years after the 1963 {A}gung eruption. {T}he mechanisms at play involve salinity advection from the {A}rctic and explain the timing of {G}reat {S}alinity {A}nomalies observed in the 1970s and the 1990s. {S}imulations, as well as {G}reenland and {I}celand paleoclimate records, indicate that coherent bidecadal cycles were excited following five {A}gung-like volcanic eruptions of the last millennium. {C}limate simulations and a conceptual model reveal that destructive interference caused by the {P}inatubo 1991 eruption may have damped the observed decreasing trend of the {AMOC} in the 2000s. {O}ur results imply a long-lasting climatic impact and predictability following the next {A}gung-like eruption.},
