    How Ocean Arrays Give Us Indications of the AMOC's Health | Into the Blue Presents: The AMOC Ep4
    Jun 26 2024
    First deployed in 2004, the RAPID-AMOC 26°N array has revolutionised the understanding of the AMOC’s variability and documented its impacts on our long term climate and seasonal European weather. In the final episode of our mini-series focusing on the AMOC, Dr Zoe Jacobs is joined by NOC's Chief Scientist Professor Penny Holliday to discuss the array's impact and other methods we use to measure the climate system.

    Why Ocean Models Are Key in Unlocking the AMOC's Future | Into the Blue Presents: The AMOC Ep2
    May 29 2024
    Ocean models enable us to observe multiple ocean parameters and give us a more complete picture of the health of our ocean, including the health of the AMOC. NOC's Dr Tillys Petit and University of Oxford Postdoctoral Researcher Dr Margarita Markina join NOC's Dr Zoe Jacobs to discuss how and why we create models of the ocean and how it's steering us into making educated decisions.
