Sailors competing in The Ocean Race Atlantic will collect climate data from weakening Gulf Stream - Sail-World.com
Competitors in The Ocean Race Atlantic are contributing to critical climate research by collecting real-time data on the Gulf Stream's weakening flow. This innovative collaboration provides valuable, longitudinal insights into a vital climate indicator. The data, gathered from a global fleet, will enhance ocean intelligence and support validated assessments of ocean health. Understanding these shifts is paramount for informed stewardship.

From climate data to regulatory decisions: integrating climate AI into marine EIAs
Climate change profoundly impacts ocean sustainability, necessitating robust environmental impact assessments (EIAs). Regulatory frameworks, like the UNCLOS and BBNJ Agreement, increasingly demand structured EIAs. Rapid advancements in climate AI—including forecasting and scenario modeling—offer unprecedented opportunities to integrate real-time, high-resolution climate data into these assessments. Integrating climate AI throughout the EIA workflow, grounded in evidence standards and transparent documentation, can enhance decision-making and bolster long-term ocean health.
Copernicus Marine and Copernicus Climate Change: Daily global sea surface temperatures break records for the time of year | Copernicus - Copernicus Climate
Daily global sea surface temperatures have reached unprecedented levels, surpassing records for this time of year, according to data from Copernicus Marine and Copernicus Climate Change. This represents a significant climate indicator, validated by continuous, real-time monitoring across the globe. The integrated data ecosystem provides empirical evidence of warming trends, underscoring the urgency of ocean stewardship and the need for collaborative action.
