Rapid Climate Change (RAPID and RAPID-WATCH)
All RAPID and RAPID-WATCH mooring deployments
You can find information here about all RAPID and RAPID-WATCH mooring rigs, including those involved in monitoring the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC).
- Rig ID (e.g. WB1#1) is made up of site name (WB1) and deployment number (#1)
- A description of each instrument type is given by hovering over the instrument codes
- View an inventory of mooring data sets
- Request data (subject to availability and data policy restrictions)
