A new paper, led by GO-BGC researcher @koelling.bsky.social, using @bgc-argo.bsky.social data, examines ocean ventilation in the subpolar North Atlantic. These insights enhance our understanding of how oxygen enters the deep ocean and may aid in predicting future oxygen loss due to climate change.

Our new 🌊 paper “Progressive oxygenation of the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre” is out @jgroceans.bsky.social (open access): agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

We examined the breathing of one of the ocean’s lungs 🩺 and found some surprises

I want to see the particles that sink carbon to the deep ocean, all the time and in real time.This summer we built an instrument that collects images of sinking particles every second, and visualizes them in 5 different ways. @mbarinews.bsky.social

A decade of BGC-Argo and plankton records shows North Pacific heatwaves reshape food webs and trap small particles in midwater, slowing deep-ocean carbon export. Impacts vary by event, underscoring the need for sustained ocean monitoring. @mbarinews.bsky.social @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

How cool is this? A LEGO Argo Float! Thanks for the inspo @mbarinews.bsky.social! "Treated" everyone in the brick store to a 5min ad-hoc talk why Argo Floats are so cool and important. Shouldn't have asked what I'm building 🙃

A new study led by @globaloceanbgc.bsky.social researchers at MBARI has found that marine heatwaves can reshape ocean food webs, slowing the transport of carbon to the deep sea and hampering the ocean’s ability to buffer against climate change.

The Northern Pacific Ocean is currently smashing temperature records.

And it is reaching these levels far earlier than the current generation of climate models had expected.

🌊 BGC-Argo float of the month. The 300th float of the GO-BGC project was launched in the S Atlantic. Funded by the US NSF, these floats provide essential observations of ocean metabolism - productivity, oxygen, pH... @bgc-argo.bsky.social‬ @globaloceanbgc.bsky.social #OneArgo #Argo
BGC-Argo profiling float WMO 7902313 is carried down the deck of the R/V OceanXplorer before launch. This float carries oxygen, pH, nitrate, chlorophyll and particle sensors. It will operate for 5 to 6 years, sampling from 2000 m to surface every 10 days. A map of the 300 GO-BGC profiling float locations. All floats are part of the BGC-Argo array and were funded by the US National Science Foundation.
