Key Points The AMOC is a system of ocean currents that move heat and carbon around the planet and is predicted to decline in the future The AMOC has been directly measured since the 2000s, but we now have observation systems in place that can verify a future decline We look at how these systems might develop in the future and consider how they might fit in an optimized Atlantic observing system
