"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

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...

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

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.
