Project overview
As part of the Rapid Climate Change Thematic Programme, the thermohaline circulation in the Atlantic Ocean at about 25 degrees N will be monitored over the period 2004 to 2007. Using these new measurements and historical measurements made near 25 degrees N, we propose to extend the time series made during 2004-2007 backwards in time to identify longer time scale variability in the thermohaline circulation over the period from at least the 1980's to 2007.
