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.

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

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

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