🌊🧪@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.

8 panels of data showing temperature, salinity (with mixed layer depth overlaid), chlorophyll, optical backscatter (bbp), oxygen, nitrate, pH and computed dissolved inorganic carbon over 2 years and down to 400 m.
