Robotic Floats Quantify Sinking Carbon in the Southern Ocean - Eos An estimated 2.69 billion tons of carbon are exported to the deep sea every year from the Southern Ocean.

Thanks to the SOCCOM project's work to deploy biogeochemical floats to monitor ocean health, a study led by MBARI found that an estimated 2.69 billion tons of carbon are exported to the deep sea every year from the Southern Ocean.

Technology symposium envisions a global integration of satellites and sensors Attendees identified ways to optimize, integrate, and scale data collection for advancing human and planetary health.

During a recent conference hosted by the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability and Graduate School of Business, MBARI scientist Yui Takeshita discussed how global observing networks are optimized when integrated with one another: sustainability.stanford.edu/news/technol...

MBARI researchers develop new method for tracking ocean carbon from space • MBARI Satellite data on winds and currents can fill gaps in modeling carbon transport from the ocean’s surface to the deep sea.

The ocean plays a key role in cycling carbon. MBARI researchers and collaborators have developed a new method for using satellite data to predict how much carbon the ocean absorbs after a plankton bloom to better understand the ocean-climate connection.

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
