RAPID presented two posters summarising key outcomes of the programme so far at this year's Leverhulme Climate
Symposium. The public event, held this year at the Royal Society in London, was attended by many public and private sector
stakeholders and comprised of six climate themes - one of which being rapid climate change. RAPID presented work summarising
our monitoring work underway in the Atlantic and research into historical episodes of abrupt climate change.
Electronic versions of these posters can be downloaded by clicking on the thumbnails below.

RAPID Atlantic mooring results published in Science
The latest results from the RAPID Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (of which the "Gulf Stream" is a part)
observing team have been published in August 17th's edition of
Science. The first of these papers (Kanzow et
al., 2007) demonstrates the effectiveness of RAPID's monitoring and observing approach. The second paper (Cunningham
et al., 2007) analyses the first year's continuous measurements of the Atlantic Meridonal Overturning Circulation (or
AMOC)
strength - from April 2004, to April 2005.

January 2007
The UK Climate Impacts Programme
have produced an updated briefing note describing recent results from the RAPID Atlantic moorings, and additional research presented
at the International Science Conference last year. You can access this document via the UKCIP website or directly
here!
Along with our own
briefing note issued in October 2006 this UKCIP document provides an excellent summary of ongoing findings from the RAPID programme and further notes
will be circulated as more projects return results.
