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.”

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! 🌍💙

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...

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.

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.
