"@NOAA is improving knowledge of the impacts of #MOC changes on short time scales. Through observations & numerical models we can learn to apply that knowledge towards understanding how the MOC impacts society on longer time scales - Renellys Perez, NOAA-AOML Oceanographer" (4/4)
As a result, the #MOC is expected to change significantly in the coming decades, possibly disrupting the redistribution of heat, salt, nutrients & carbon across our ocean. This can directly impact #SeaLevel, #ExtremeWeather events & cause shifts in #weather & climate (3/4)
One of @NOAA_AOML's main research topics is the Meridional Overturning Circulation (#MOC) which is a component of global ocean circulation that constantly moves water, heat, salt, carbon, & nutrients throughout the ocean & around the globe. More: bit.ly/47WNbgZ (1/4)
