"We know if there's a big anomaly in this current, you get massive consequences"@channel4news.bsky.social The voyage may be finished, but the science continues to further understand how #AMOC weakening influences global weather & climate patterns. Full report here: www.channel4.com/news/the-key...

The key Atlantic current that could change Europe’s climate forever

Western Europe could face winters as cold as Canada because of the impact of climate change on a key Atlantic current, known as the AMOC, which helps regulate our weather.

The latest AMOC time series was released today! The overall picture suggests the weakening trend in the AMOC has remained consistent. NOC's Dr Ben Moat says “It is crucial to continue observing the AMOC through to at least 2034 to ascertain its trend.” Download the latest data: www.rapid.ac.uk

Thanks to @whoi.edu for hosting this vital AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) meeting, which we were delighted to attend along with experts from across the world.

As scientists warn that #AMOC may slow/collapse, experts are trying to improve research on this critical ocean conveyor system We need: - Better measurements - Global cooperation - Sustained funding - New tech for real-time data AMOC research=climate security. Let's keep it going! 🌍💙 @noc.ac.uk

On DY186 Maria De La Fuente Ruiz is measuring ocean oxygen levels. This is important as oxygen is an indicator to the health of our oceans. As sea temperatures increase, oxygen 'dead zones' can be created because warm water cannot hold as much oxygen. This can prove deadly to all marine life. 🧪⚠️

Chris Cardwell is an Electronic Engineer who is working on a prototype remote telemetry system for use on the RAPID moorings and in the wider oceanographic community. Outside of the current expedition, he is found developing novel oceanographic sensors, samplers and observing systems. @noc.ac.uk

Being an RSE isnt always just sitting at your desk. This week I aided in the deployment of the RAPID 26N WB2 sensor mooring for monitoring the change in the AMOC by optimising the tools used to verify and log the sensors going on to the mooring, all whilst aboard RRS Discovery.

A ships crew are working together to lower a float, with multiple sensors attached, into the ocean.
