Exploring the AMOC Connectivity Between the RAPID and OSNAP Lines With a Model‐Based Data Set
Abstract Two major trans‐basin mooring arrays, the Rapid Climate Change‐Meridional Overturning Circulation and Heatflux Array (RAPID) at 26.5°N since 2004 and the Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program (OSNAP) situated at 53°–60°N since 2014, have been continuously monitoring the Atlanti...
