‘Go with the flow': Research on the current in the subpolar North Atlantic
Contribution from NIOZ - NACLIM - OSNAP | Summer 2015, a film made to demonstrate the work carried out in the subpolar gyre by scientists from various large-scale collaborative projects, and to raise social awareness of the significance of observation/the role of North Atlantic ocean in our life.
Summary about the film (NIOZ): Oceanographic research carried out in the North Atlantic Ocean is of great importance to understand the role of the ocean in our climate and future climate change. Scientists collaborate in large international projects in order to continuously measure the subpolar Atlantic at key geographical locations.

The North Atlantic Climate: what we need to find out... a short video-story
This video is a short introduction to the main challenges our researches face in their investigations on climate variability in the North Atlantic. This is the first video of three, the others will follow in 2014-2016 and explain the impacts of climate variability on human health (heat stress in cities) and on oceanic ecosystems https://vimeo.com/86018560
Target audience: General public

Bluefin tuna caught at east Greenland
Brian MacKenzie (DTU Aqua): "We have recently published a research paper showing that bluefin tuna were present at east Greenland in summer 2012. This location (approx. 65.5 deg. N.) is much farther north than its usual summer feeding habitat, but the warm conditions that year seemed to be suitable for the tuna. The warm water also attracted some of the tuna's favorite prey, such as Atlantic mackerel. This is the first time bluefin tuna have been reported so far north in Greenland waters."
A short story about the study is on DTU Aqua website at this link: http://www.aqua.dtu.dk/english/News/Nyhed?id=73405847-FB5B-4B35-9F87-04EB321E0DA3

European temperatures likely to fall due to Arctic vortex as US thaws
"The big freeze in the US was part of an Arctic weather system that is being displaced more and more frequently because of global warming, European researchers believe. As it re-centres itself over the pole, it should bring colder, icier conditions back to Europe". NACLIM scientists Chantal Claud and Javier Garcia-Serrano talk to journalist Ben Deighton for the HORIZON, the EU Research & Innovation Magazine. Read the full article [>>]

Ocean currents to tell us more about our climate
New monitoring project in North Atlantic will improve climate predictions and weather forecasting (SAMS). Marine scientists in Scotland are part of an international team working on a newly funded multi-million pound project to monitor crucial ocean currents that shape Britain’s climate. The OSNAP project will run for five years and involve scientists from 7 countries, including a team of the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS):
