As the float goes north, it samples cooler water that mixes deeper (its less dense) in winter, reaching depths with high NO3. This brings NO3, an essential nutrient, to the surface, fertilizing plankton, and chlorophyll blooms appear. What does this trend mean for a warming ocean?

🌊Float of the Month, 5906440 (@globaloceanbgc.bsky.social @bgc-argo.bsky.social). Drifting north for 4 years, it shows the evolution of the bio. response to ocean phys. At low latitudes, warm water does not mix deep enough (Mixed Layer Depth, black line on NO3 plot) to bring NO3 to the surface. 1/2

Almost historical. I created the Periodic Table of Elements in the Ocean back in 1998 with my son, then age 14 who wrote the JavaScript, and daughter age 12 who chased down all references in the MLML library, to figure out how we could use the internet. Nice to see it in use. #mbari #globaloceanbgc

🌊🧪@bgc-argo.bsky.social Float of the Month. WMO 7900823 deployed nearly 80 south in the Ross Sea has done 2 years under ice. Here's the data plot (all data freely available @soccomproject.bsky.social). No bloom this year! Too much ice melt, no deep mixing, and no iron to feed plankton - IMO.

It’s 10 days into the new year & @globaloceanbgc.bsky.social & @soccomproject.bsky.social have already deployed 10 new @bgc-argo.bsky.social profiling floats. 410 in the water, 70 with chem & 332 have chem/bio sensors - O2, pH, NO3, & bio-optics. They sample the upper 2 km every 10 days. 🌊⛴️🌡🧪
