    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.
