Autonomous Sensor for In Situ Measurements of Total Alkalinity in the Ocean Total alkalinity (TA) is one of the measurable parameters that characterize the oceanic carbonate system. A high temporal and spatial frequency in TA data can lead to better measurements, modeling, an...

🌊 Allisson Schaap et al. (2025) developed a submersible Total Alkalinity sensor capable of autonomous, direct measurements at full ocean depth.

Passive acoustic monitoring from profiling floats as a pathway to scalable autonomous observations of global surface wind Abstract. Wind forcing plays a pivotal role in driving upper-ocean physical and biogeochemical processes, yet direct wind observations remain sparse in many regions of the global ocean. While passive ...

🔬 @ldelaigue.bsky.social et al. (2026) demonstrated how passive acoustic sensors mounted on biogeochemical #Argo floats can retrieve surface wind speed from hundreds of metres below the ocean surface.

New ocean sensors could transform how scientists track the marine carbon cycle The world’s oceans do far more than support vital marine ecosystems and provide food and recreation. They help regulate the Earth’s climate, absorbing vast amounts of heat and CO2, acting as one of th...

Doing wet chemistry 5 km below the sea surface? Of course, we can do that! Take a bow @noc.ac.uk engineers.

New paper published today! 🎉
Can you “hear” the wind from 1000 m depth? Turns out: yes.
As part of @tricuso.bsky.social and @george-project.bsky.social, we demonstrate passive acoustic wind estimates from BGC-Argo floats, a step toward global, autonomous wind observations. 🌊🎧
