Abstract

Direct observation of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) requires the installation and operation of complex observing systems. Therefore AMOC observations are in maybe all cases realized by combining local and regional observational efforts of multiple countries. This way, nations resources and infrastructures are brought together in a coordinated way to collect the necessary observations with the lowest possible effort and cost (e.g. OSNAP in the Subpolar Atlantic, RAPID in the Subtropical, SAMOC in the South Atlantic, MOVE). A global umbrella for a further coordination of fixed-point time series observations that contribute to AMOC observing is provided by OceanSITES. This presentation will introduce the vision and mission of OceanSITES to support long-term high-quality time series observations. The current “uptake” of OceanSITES by the AMOC observation community will be discussed and achievements and future plans of the OceanSITES network will be introduced.
