Description
This presentation will be a tale of two perspectives that come together to inform AMOC observing needs in a changing climate. First, I will share some results from NASA’s gravity and altimetry satellite science teams that highlight how these NASA assets contribute to monitoring and understanding AMOC. Second, I will present highlights from my own analysis of future Earth system simulations, in which I seek to understand how AMOC variability and change influence North Atlantic Ocean biogeochemistry and biological productivity as global warming intensifies. I will conclude by discussing my perception of how both perspectives might guide future AMOC observing priorities and design.
