We do not know what the MOC has actually been doing for lack of data, so the authors diagnose the state of the MOC from the sea surface temperatures — to put it simply: a warm northern Atlantic suggests strong MOC, a cool one suggests weak MOC (though it is of course a little more complex).

A mooring typically consists of a flexible cable that is tethered to the ocean floor by a weight or anchor and suspended from the sea surface by a buoy.

When comparing between four size classes, two microplastic < 4.75 mm and meso - and macroplastic > 4.75 mm, a tremendous loss of microplastics is observed from the sea surface compared to expected rates of fragmentation, suggesting there are mechanisms at play that remove < 4.75 mm plastic particles from the ocean surface.
