description: Rapid Climate Change (RAPID) était à l'origine un programme de 20 millions de livres sterling sur six ans (2001-2007) du Natural Environment Research Council. Cet effort de suivi s'est poursuivi dans le cadre du programme de suivi RAPID-WATCH 2008-2014 financé par le NERC. Le programme visait à améliorer la capacité de quantifier la probabilité et l'ampleur des futurs changements rapides du climat, en mettant l'accent (mais pas exclusivement) sur le rôle de la circulation thermohaline de l'océan Atlantique. Le programme a utilisé une combinaison d'observations (actuelles et paléo) et de modélisation (atmosphérique, océanique, terrestre, cryosphérique). Des observations telles que des amarrages ont été utilisées pour tester des simulations de la variabilité de la circulation thermohaline et du changement climatique, y compris la circulation de renversement méridienne de l'Atlantique, les processus de transport et de mélange à long terme, le forçage atmosphérique dû à la convection océanique, ainsi que les transports océaniques à grande échelle. Les objectifs scientifiques spécifiques du programme RAPID ont été approuvés par le comité directeur sur le changement climatique rapide et sont détaillés dans le plan scientifique RAPID (https://rapid.ac.uk/rapid/Scienceplan.php). Dans les Maritimes, les mouillages du Rapid se trouvaient principalement sur le plateau néo-écossais et sur la pente au large d'Halifax de 2004 à 2010.
description: Rapid Climate Change (RAPID) was originally a £20 million, six-year (2001-2007) program of the Natural Environment Research Council. This monitoring effort was continued in the NERC-funded follow-on program RAPID-WATCH 2008-2014. The program aimed to improve the ability to quantify the probability and magnitude of future rapid change in climate, with a main (but not exclusive) focus on the role of the Atlantic Ocean's Thermohaline Circulation. The program used a combination of observations (present day and palaeo) and modelling (atmospheric, oceanic, terrestrial, cryospheric). Observations such as moorings were used for testing simulations of Thermohaline Circulation variability and climate change including the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, long-term transports and mixing processes and atmospheric forcing of ocean convection, and large-scale ocean transports. The specific scientific objectives of the RAPID program were agreed by the Rapid Climate Change Steering Committee and are detailed in the RAPID Science Plan (https://rapid.ac.uk/rapid/Scienceplan.php). In the Maritimes the Rapid moorings were mostly on the Scotian shelf and slope off of Halifax from 2004 to 2010. @en
