The OSNAP cruise replacing the moorings on AMOC's northern limb is well underway. Two notable things:
1) OSNAP's funding expires early next year, and NSF has still not said if it will be renewed.
2) They are still deploying the two OOI Irminger Sea subsurface moorings associated with OSNAP.
A balanced take on a nuanced subject, providing a clear summary of the current state of AMOC research and many of the discussions from a workshop in the UK last week. The idea of a more resilient AMOC is consistent with some of our theoretical work on future AMOC changes: rdcu.be/eoqVt

I'm proud of this new viz of AMOC that our graphics team produced, with big help from Susan Lozier.
We wanted to move past the "conveyor belt," and render AMOC as more of a belt of belts, while also including the gyres/Gulf Stream and the broadened view of deepwater formation.
I think we did!
It involved drawing on a lot of blank maps with my kids's markers and pencils.
You can see it here in all its scrolly-telly glory.

It's out. My latest feature for @science.org, from aboard the RRS Discovery: a deep look at the past, present, and future of AMOC, told through the RAPID program.
AMOC is weakening -- maybe, probably. But it also may be more resilient than some have made it seem.

Studies of the Atlantic's circulation find signs of both weakening and unexpected stability in the face of global warming
Fair winds and following seas! R/V Neil Armstrong set sail on Sunday, June 7th to kick off the seventh summer of OSNAP cruises. For updates, check out the blog on our website! 📸: Isabela Le Bras
