Estimates of anthropogenic carbon derived from hydrographic cruise occupations at 24.5N have been combined with volume transport estimates produced by the RAPID-MOCHA-WBTS (RAPID-Meridional Overturning Circulation and Heatflux Array-Western Boundary Time Series) programme at 26N to generate a time series of anthropogenic carbon transports between 2004 and 2012. Anthropogenic carbon is calculated using measurements of temperature, salinity, dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, oxygen, inorganic nutrients and chlorofluorocarbons collected on cruises between the east coast of USA and Africa between 1992 and 2011. The volume transport time series is derived from measurements of temperature, salinity, pressure and water velocity from an array of moored instruments that extend from the east coast of the Bahamas to the continental shelf off Africa east of the Canary Islands, combined with estimates of the transport in the Florida Strait derived from sub-sea cable measurements calibrated by regular hydrographic cruises, and satellite scatterometer measurements (wind driven Ekman transport). This data release includes published paper with a full description of the calculation of anthropogenic carbon fields and their transports, and references to more detailed description of the volume transport time series calculation. The anthropogenic carbon transports form part of the Atlantic Biogeochemical Fluxes programme (Principle Investigator Elaine McDonagh).

The RAPID-MOCHA-WBTS (RAPID-Meridional Overturning Circulation and Heatflux Array-Western Boundary Time Series) programme has produced a continuous time series of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) at 26N that started in April 2004. This release of the time series extends the data to February 2017. The 26N AMOC time series is derived from measurements of temperature, salinity, pressure and water velocity from an array of moored instruments that extend from the east coast of the Bahamas to the continental shelf off Africa east of the Canary Islands. The AMOC calculation also uses estimates of the transport in the Florida Strait derived from sub-sea cable measurements calibrated by regular hydrographic cruises. The component of the AMOC associated with the wind driven Ekman layer is derived from satellite scatterometer measurements. This release of the data includes a document with a brief description of the calculation of the AMOC time series and references to more detailed description in published papers. The 26N AMOC time series and the data from the moored array are curated by the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC). The RAPID-MOCHA-WBTS programme is a joint effort between NERC in the UK (Principle Investigator David Smeed since 2012 and Stuart Cunningham from 2004 to 2012), NOAA (PIs Chris Meinen and Molly Baringer) and NSF (PI Prof. Bill Johns, Uni. Miami) in the USA.

The RAPID-MOCHA-WBTS (RAPID-Meridional Overturning Circulation and Heatflux Array-Western Boundary Time Series) programme has produced a continuous time series of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) at 26°N that started in April 2004. This release of the time series extends the data to March 2014. The 26°N AMOC time series is derived from measurements of temperature, salinity, pressure and water velocity from an array of moored instruments that extend from the east coast of the Bahamas to the continental shelf off Africa east of the Canary Islands. The AMOC calculation also uses estimates of the transport in the Florida Strait derived from sub-sea cable measurements calibrated by regular hydrographic cruises.
