A stormy ocean voyage produced a wildly productive study led by UCSB researchers, revealing important insights for our understanding of Earth’s climate 🌊
It presents some of the first findings to predict fluxes of carbon into the deep sea: https://ow.ly/WIUc50XKXZf

A stormy ocean voyage yields insights on the global carbon cycle
Scientists overcame storms and bureaucratic setbacks to investigate the ocean’s carbon cycle. The expedition revealed more about how tiny organic particles, known as marine snow, transport carbon.

Hourly measurements from gliders show when and how the ocean produces, recycles, and exports carbon — and why salps matter more than we thought.

During our March cruise, C-CoMP researchers deployed SVP drifters during diel sampling. The drifters enabled tracking/sampling the same parcel of water in a Lagrangian approach, aiding efforts to capture diel microbial signals from the same water over time!
