The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC): What Is It and Why Is It So Important?

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, is a key climate system and is vital in regulating the temperature of the planet. However, in recent years there have been many studies suggesting that its potential slowdown, or even collapse, could have a catastrophic effect on our climate and could lead to more extreme weather. In our latest animation, we give you a lowdown on what the AMOC is, how it works, what could happen if it does slow down and what NOC is doing to research it. Check out our AMOC podcast mini-series -    • The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circul...   Go under the surface and learn more about AMOC - https://noc.ac.uk/under-the-surface/a...
