🌊🧪@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.

The GO-BGC and SOCCOM programs successfully deployed 115 BGC-Argo profiling floats in 2024.

Real-time data collected by these biogeochemical floats is helping scientists better understand, predict, and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
