Replacement for lost AUV Ran is on its way
The University of Gothenburg will buy a new underwater vehicle to replace Ran, that was lost under a glacier in Antarctica in 2024. A large donation means that researchers can plan for new expeditions...

A Pacific MOC (PMOC) will develop in the future to counterbalance the AMOC weakening. However, the sinking associated with the PMOC is not strong enough to completely compensate for the upwelling in the Southern Ocean; thus, the AMOC will not collapse: 🌊🥼❄️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Here's what the platelet layer looks like from underneath: untold billions of individual ice crystals float up from the water column to accumulate against the base of the sea ice above them. The crystals deposit like grains of sand, creating ripple & billow structures.
