Here's the second and final part of our #OceanQuiz :
See if you can answer a few more questions about our #ocean and #climate 👇🌊🌍
#GetClimateReady @metoffice_sci
This month our #climate theme has been the #ocean .
How much do you know about our ocean and how it interacts with the Earth's climate system? 🌊🌍
Swipe through our #OceanQuiz questions and keep your eyes peeled for more 👀👇

Submarines Royal Navy rely heavily on sound propagation underwater to navigate & detect threats, using sonars & hydrophones. Did you know this can be affected by sea water density & our ocean models help plan submarine operations effectively? Learn more 🧵👇 #GetClimateReady 1/5
We bring scientific expertise to this partnership in various areas, and world-class science from our Met Office Hadley Centre provides the scientific basis for #ClimateChange services.

EERIE will produce climate info for #ClimateChange assessments e.g. IPCC; its models will better represent climate variability & extremes & it will deliver storyline approaches to the consequences of climate tipping points & disease outbreaks

Particularly #ocean fronts reduce sonar ranges severely – they are where different water masses meet, influencing currents, weather systems and marine life. Where and how intense they are is changing as #ClimateChange alters ocean temperatures and currents #GetClimateReady 🧵3/5

As the climate changes and extreme weather becomes more common, UK cities and towns will need to adapt.
Read here about some of the future changes we may see in urban areas 👇
