🌴 Pan-CLIVAR Meeting [Day 3&4] – CLIVAR Symposium! On 24–25 Sept, the CLIVAR Symposium brought together scientists and stakeholders from 38 countries to discuss frontier climate topics. Open sessions and side events fostered global partnerships and empowered Early Career Researchers 🌍🌊

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.

Today we’ve been showcasing our science and research at Royal Festival Hall as part of the premiere of David Attenborough’s Ocean! 🍿🌊 The film is available in UK cinemas this Thursday, and on Disney+ from June 8th. #OceanFilm

Our CEO Dr @johsid.bsky.social gives insight into the premiere of David Attenborough’s Ocean at Royal Festival Hall last night, where ocean science took centre stage! 🌊 #OceanFilm Read more: noc.ac.uk/news/ocean-s...

AMOC in density space, heat and freshwater transports, and 2D velocity fields at 26N have been updated to February 2023. They are freely available on our website at rapid.ac.uk

We published a signal-to-noise analysis of AMOC observations in GRL. TLDR: Direct observations (RAPID) of the AMOC do show a decline in line with climate model projected weakening (~1 Sv/decade) but the noise is still very large in comparison to the signal. Paper: doi.org/10.1029/2025...

NOC's CEO Dr John Siddorn (@johsid.bsky.social) recently attended the The 26th @pogo-ocean.bsky.social Annual Meeting. Hosted by the Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies and Universiti Sains Malaysia, the world’s marine institutes discussed working together to further understand our ocean.

NOC has been awarded new funding to lead critical research into the potential collapse of the Atlantic Subpolar Gyre. 👀 Find out how the funding provided by UK’s Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) will help monitor the climate tipping point here 🗞️🌊 noc.ac.uk/news/noc-awa...

We were delighted to welcome a group of Portuguese media and the British Ambassador in Portugal onboard #RRSDiscovery yesterday. 🚢🇵🇹 Thank you to Portuguese media outlets RTP, Público, Expresso, Observador, Revista da Marinha, RTP's Daniela Santiago and British Embassy Lisbon!

NOC was delighted to host a marine research roundtable onboard #RRSDiscovery, organised by the British Embassy in Lisbon. 👥 The roundtable helped further the dialogue between UK and Portuguese researchers to explore future collaborations and to discuss the UN Ocean Decade.

For International Women and Girls in Science Day Dr Tillys Petit, Alex Barlow and Tina Mantinha have been talking about their roles in science to Portuguese media and British Embassy staff, making the most of #RRSDiscovery stop in Lisbon. 🚢 #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

Interested in the MOC? Please consider submitting an abstract to our symposium on the Meridional Overturning Circulation at the IAMAS-IACS-IAPSO Joint Assembly in Busan, Republic of Korea, from July 20-25, 2025. The abstract deadline is February 15, 2025: www.baco-25.org @benmoat.bsky.social

NOC's Dr Ben Moat (@benmoat.bsky.social) and Dr Tillys Petit feature in the BBC News about the importance of observing the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC). 🌊 www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1bG...

We are delighted to congratulate NOC scientist Dr Elizabeth Kent (@lizk40.bsky.social), who has been awarded an MBE for her services to tracking global temperatures! 👏 Read more 👉 noc.ac.uk/news/noc-sci...

NOC's Dr Ben Moat (@benmoat.bsky.social) and Dr Tillys Petit feature in a recent BBC News article all about the importance of monitoring the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC). 🌊 Read it here 📰 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We have successfully completed the RAPID 26N western boundary expedition DY186. Many thanks to the crew of the RRS Discovery for helping to deliver the science. @noc.ac.uk

Thats the last of our tall moorings recovered. In the next six months we will calibrate the measurements and then release the next 26N AMOC time series update. @noc.ac.uk

Declining Antarctic sea ice cover is generating unprecedented ocean heat loss to the atmosphere and more storms, according to a new study led by NOC. 🧊 Find out how the study provides the first clear picture of the impacts of the disappearing sea ice ➡️ noc.ac.uk/news/declini...

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

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. 🧪⚠️

A telemetry system has been deployed on the RAPID 26N WB2 western boundary mooring to enable periodic data updates. @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.

📸 NOC's Dr Ben Moat (@benmoat.bsky.social) links up live to Forest Heights Academy school in Abaco, Bahamas onboard #RRSDiscovery.

Mobilisation of the RRS Discovery in Fort Lauderdale is complete. We will sail in a few hours to service the RAPID 26N westen boundary mooring array. @nocnews.bsky.social @nocmarinephys.bsky.social

"I gained hands-on experience and learned about day-to-day research activities and planning from the senior scientists." West science bursary empowers global students with hands-on oceanography experience 🧪 noc.ac.uk/news/west-sc...

The RAPID-MOCHA-WBTS time series of the Atlantic overturning circulation will soon reach 20 years (started in 2004) thanks to the many people (crew, officers, students and researchers) who have participated in the research expeditions that regularly maintain the observing array.

The next RAPID 26N AMOC expedition will sail from Fort Lauderdale on the 11th December 2024. Updates to follow. @nocnews.bsky.social @nocmarinephys.bsky.social
