SOCIB and IMEDEA presented research at the Ocean Sciences Meeting 2016

SOCIB and IMEDEA presented research at the Ocean Sciences Meeting 2016, held in New Orleans (USA) 22 -  26th February. OSM is one of the most important forums for oceanographic research in 2016, with clear themes regarding sustained ocean observations and ocean observatories, and the pressing need to understand circulation variability across scales. There was a particularly inspiring plenary talk by Prof. Susan Lozier about the history and present understanding of the variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and new results from the monitoring of the AMOC and ENSO. Dr. Jano Orfila (IMEDEA) and Dr. Emma Heslop (SOCIB) travelled to present the research at OSM, representing work that has developed from close collaboration across IMEDEA and SOCIB Glider, Modelling and Data Centre Facilities.
