answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/04/2017 answer text <p>The RRS James Cook is part of the Government funded national sustained observational programme called RAPID. This long-term programme’s aim is to monitor the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) in the North Atlantic at the latitude of 26 degrees north. The MOC determines the Atlantic ocean’s transport of heat, freshwater, carbon, and other environmental properties. It is central to understanding the role of the thermohaline circulation in global climate change. The RRS James Cook recovered and redeployed a number of oceanographic moorings fitted with conductivity and temperature sensors, which were distributed at a range of depths on moorings.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 20/04/2017 15:12:40 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/04/2017 answer text <p>Sahrawi representatives contacted the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) on 3 March 2017 about the work of RRS James Cook in the eastern Atlantic. The UK regards the status of Western Sahara as undetermined and supports UN-led efforts to find a mutually acceptable solution to all parties, which provides self-determination for the Sahrawi people. As a non-self governing territory under Article 73 of the UN Charter, rights under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea should be provided by the administering power and for the benefit of the people of the territory with a view to promoting their well being and development. The NOC will share information with Morocco, who are the de facto administering power.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 20/04/2017 15:12:27 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
