Not only atmospheric circulations but what about ocean ciruclations? They would be altered as well. I believe theres a great write up about this on real climate.org. I'll have to see if I can dig it up later on for you if you wish.

I clearly remember the blog noting that the tropics would only expand, that is if the fresh melt didn't alter allready existing ocean currents creating a new climate in Europe or altering circulations on a broader scale all together. It's very fascinating stuff because there are so many components to a much larger system. What does an open ocean a top of the earth mean for the climate in whole, severly altered circulation patterns that's for sure.
