- Atlantic ocean circulation plays a critical role in Earth’s climate, profoundly influencing Northern hemisphere climate. A fundamental prediction of the changing 21C climate is a slowing of this circulation. However, observational evidence for the mechanisms controlling this were lacking. The international research community represented by over 20 Research Institutes and Universities from about 10 countries began planning in 2010 to fund and designed observations to provide this evidence. This paper reports our first results. The programme represents a total investment over the first five years of $50 million. We are planning for the observations to be sustained for a decade.
