Autosub Long Range, better known as #BoatyMcBoatface, has helped to recover a 55 year old camera in Loch Ness! 📷
Despite film from the camera being developed by a NOC engineer, no footage of the Loch Ness Monster was found.

Why have the sea surface temperature suddenly risen in 2023/24? 🌊
Is it true that climate models cannot simulate such SST jumps? What is common to such jumps? How will SSTs evolve over the next months and years? Are we in uncharted territory? More from our recent study in Nature is here👇

Record sea surface temperature jump in 2023–2024 unlikely but not unexpected - Nature
Observations and climate models suggest that the global sea surface temperature jump in 2023–2024 was not unexpected and would have been nearly impossible without anthropogenic warming.

Lots of replies here* mentioning tides, but what would it actually do to them to take the moon away? You'd still have the daily and twice-daily solar, S1 and S2. No spring-neap cycle. Atlantic tides still resonant, but about a third the size?

Well, it's been 26 years since the nuclear dump station on the moon exploded and sent it spinning out of orbit.
I don't even miss it, really.

Tomorrow we head to Santorini on RRS Discovery to study volcanic hazards for the @ukri.org @noc.ac.uk HYDROMOX project. So grateful for support from a brilliant science team, officers, crew and our logistics teams and thrilled this expedition, 5+ years in the making, is happening.

Imagine the moment when someone said - you know what, why don’t we stick sensors in orbit around the earth to measure our environment. And satellite remote sensing was born.
Could this be as transformational? An exciting prospect.

Delighted to be part of making this happen :)
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.
