🌊A busy day for @mbarinews.bsky.social science and @globaloceanbgc.bsky.social, the major US contribution to @bgc-argo.bsky.social.

BGC-Argo floats used to study marine heatwaves and oxygen deficient zones. Great work by Mariana Bif - University of Miami, former MBARI postdoc.

🌊 The first BGC-Argo float of #ITINERIS has been deployed by Monaco Explorations in the Mediterranean!

It will deliver years of essential ocean physics & biogeochemistry data.

👏 Congrats to the whole team!

🌊 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.
