Horizon Europe research consortium for advancing understanding and prediction of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Working on ocean circulation, climate modelling, palaeoceanography & synthesis for climate science.

Schematic of winch and profiler. a) Schematic of the mooring deployed, showing the vertical distribution of the winch and profiler system, the acoustic releases and flotation, (b) a simplified section (without the cabling) through the profiling unit with the mounted instrumentation labelled and (c) an overview table of the mooring.
Year-round vertically resolved observations of upper ocean hydrography and biogeochemistry in the Atlantic Water inflow north of Svalbard - paper
Atlantic Water temperature variability in the WSC branches. Timeseries of annually averaged Atlantic Water (AW) temperatures for the WSC core , the offshore branch, and the combined WSC, with the standard deviation shown as whiskers. Long-term linear trends for each branch are plotted as dotted lines and listed in the legend. Shading marks warm (red) and cold (blue) AW temperature anomalies. Vertical lines indicate the start of each decade. (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the Web version of this article.)
