I see an #Argo float at the NS Maritime Museum of the Atlantic for #WorldOceansDay!
🌊 Today was World Oceans Day, and I set up some gear and demos with colleagues from the NS Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. It was a great turnout, and a lot of fun! (photo not representative because all the times it was busy there was no way I could grab a photo).🌊

After many years of direct and collaborative involvement in working towards implementing a new CTD sensor on Argo floats, it is very satisfying to finally see it (officially) come to fruition. 🌊🧪
🌊One decision that came from the Argo AST last month is that the RBRArgo CTD is now accepted for global implementation. Argo Canada has committed to buying at least 50% of our floats with RBR sensors to support diversification of the fleet. In photos, an update to my lego Argo float 😄.

I can't believe that @clarkgrichards.bsky.social forgot to include an example of an #Argo float for #CTDAppreciationDay, one of the most important CTD-equipped platforms for understanding the global ocean. There are currently 4091 operational floats, profiling every 10 days and sending data back! 🌊

I almost forgot about #CTDappreciationDay! There aren't many aspects of my job that don't rely on CTD data. Here are some photos of our trusted SBE CTD and rosette sampling the Canadian Northwest Passage, the cutest little CTD on a turbulence profiler (made by JFE), and a glider CTD made by RBR.

New shipment of @argocanada.bsky.social #Argo floats arrived (Teledyne Apex)! Getting them tested and ready to start deploying. Can't tell because of the baggies over the sensors, but half of them are #RBR sensors and the other half are #SBE sensors. Our committment to diversifying the Argo fleet!

New Year's resolution to try and write more things on my blog, so I got started right away (catching up on a backlog of things). First up, my friend Igor Shkvorets deploys an @argocanada.bsky.social float in the Caribbean from his SailForScience.org sailboat! 🌊

Hi! I'm Clark, an observational physical oceanographer working at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Halifax, Canada. I monitor Arctic outflows, manage a fleet of ocean gliders, and contribute to the international Argo program (see @argocanada.bsky.social). Also interested in internal waves. 🌊

I wish that shipping Argo floats was as easy as deploying them!🌊🧪
Prepping two of our #NKE #Argo floats to ship to colleagues in New Zealand, to be used to measure the ocean around Antarctica (ignore the floats in the foreground)! One of them was signed by a grade 6 class in Halifax NS Canada as part of our "Adopt-a-float" program. adopt-a-float.ocean.dal.ca
