UK oceanographers have thought of a novel way to measure the global ocean – weigh it. In research published this week, scientists from the National Oceanography Centre in Liverpool and Newcastle University have proposed an idea that will assess the mass of the world ocean by weighing at a single point.
The National Oceanography Centre’s Prof…
NOC researcher, Dr Judith Wolf, explains some of the science behind achieving world class performance at sailing in a new video released ahead of the Olympic sailing events at Weymouth.
Cutting Edge: Behind Sailing explored what it takes to win gold at Olympic level through an interactive, thought-provoking and demonstration-packed evening at the…
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, its nature, and implications for observations

The so-called Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) has been a major focus of studies of present, past, and future climate states.…
Despite being 16 metres above sea level and with no tidal input from the ocean, Loch Ness still has its own tide, which has been measured for the first time by Liverpool-based scientists from the National Oceanography Centre.
Using pressure sensors to measure the tide at several points along the loch, Philip Woodworth and his colleagues, Machiel Bos…
The Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL) has launched the latest of its interactive maps that allow users to explore changes to sea level as observed by tide gauges.
The anomalies map demonstrates how sea level varies from year to year when compared the long-term average at…
The latest acoustic instruments for probing sediment processes were recently deployed by NOC engineers and scientists in the Dee estuary on the new frame SEDbed (Sediment Experiments on Dynamics and bedforms).
The SEDbed frame has been developed in support of the EU HYDRALAB-IV programme and houses instrumentation for measuring ripples on the seabed…
Lord Marland, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for the Department of Energy and Climate Change, learned about the National Oceanography Centre’s research and its role as a provider of national marine capability on a visit to Liverpool yesterday (Thursday 16 June). He was accompanied by The Right Reverend James Jones, the Lord Bishop of Liverpool.…
In recognition of his work as an international sea-level scientist, Professor Philip Woodworth of the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) has recently visited Buckingham Palace to receive an MBE.
Over the last twenty years Professor Woodworth has led a team of NOC scientists working on predicting global and regional sea-level change.
From…
Professor Sir David King, former Government Chief Scientific Adviser and newly appointed Chair of the NOC Advisory Council, joined ITN’s Health and Science Editor, Lawrence McGinty, and leading scientists from NOC and the University of Liverpool to discuss the latest research on climate change earlier this month.
The Science of Climate Change…
