@soccomproject.bsky.social @bgc-argo.bsky.social @globaloceanbgc.bsky.social 🌊The commentary by Dove et al (bit.ly/4fd2whZ) on the future of Argo comes at a critical moment for US Argo. GO-BGC, the major US BGC-Argo project funded by NSF completes all float deployments in 3 months. 1/3

"Argo Floats, Research Vessels, Moored Buoys, Underwater Gliders...each platform answers questions the others cannot." "More than climate monitoring...data are used for weather and harvest forecasts, cyclone tracking, marine heatwave warnings, sea-level projections..." 🧪🌊🦑
🌊 Ocean monitoring is in trouble: without the US, it’s up to Europe and Asia to avoid losing sight of the world’s deep‑sea ecosystems theconversation.com/ocean-monito...
Join me at prime time on Monday night for my keynote talk for the Weather & Climate Livestream...then stick around for 50 hours of amazing science enabled by U.S. federal investment! 🌊 🧪 ☁️ 🌴 @wclivestream.bsky.social
🌊 New paper alert! For the first time from space, two NASA missions enable us to observe plankton community composition alongside the physical processes that structure it. 🛰️ 🦠 🌀 Check it out from @tosoceanography.bsky.social: doi.org/10.5670/ocea...
An important webinar for BGC-Argo chlorophyll-a users is coming up on May 12 - please register and share with your networks: @soccomproject.bsky.social @globaloceanbgc.bsky.social
🚨 IMPORTANT: Argo chlorophyll update From June 2026, data will be reprocessed with a new correction → better quality but potential impacts for end-users. 👉 We strongly recommend attending the webinar. 🗓 May 12, 16:00 CEST / 14:00 UTC 🔗 washington.zoom.us/meeting/regi... #OneArgo #Argofloats
Nearing the end of semester two at Georgia Tech, and I am so grateful this team who does awesome science. As our group keeps growing, I will always value the work each of them - one amazing postdoc (@yangx309.bsky.social) and the spectacular GATO “undergrad army” - did to help get us off the ground.
Thursday at #OSM26, I’ll be sharing our (with my team at @imas-utas.bsky.social ) work on a new approach for describing how sea ice retreat timing impact the spring bloom phenology and thus carbon cycle in the Weddell Sea by using data from @bgc-argo.bsky.social . See you at poster OB44K-0568!
Speaking of long time scale air-sea CO2 flux observations?
Xiang Yang et al.* look at drivers of air-sea CO₂ fluxes in the Subantarctic zone south of Australia. doi.org/10.1029/2023... #ocean #flux #co2 #SouthernOcean *Cathryn A. Wynn-Edwards, Peter G. Strutton, Elizabeth H. Shadwick
Fresh off the preprint server! @maratimes.bsky.social and I show how data from the overlapping SWOT and PACE satellite missions present a step forward in our ability to observe linked biogeochemical-physical processes in the ocean. We look forward to chatting about this with folks at #OSM2026! 🌊

1️⃣ Antarctic sea ice during winter didn’t use to change very much from year to year. But in recent winters, the extent of ice has crashed to unusually low levels. Which begs the question: what controls how much sea ice can form in winter? 🌊 plot by @edoddridge.bsky.social
"It is possible that no climate intervention will ever be safe enough to implement on a large scale. But we believe that decision should be guided by evidence – not market pressure, fear or ideology." — @tyler-rohr.bsky.social et al in @theconversation.com ▶️ theconversation.com/climate-engi...
Climate engineering would alter the oceans, reshaping marine life – our new study examines each method’s risks
Some methods being tried to counter climate change shift the ocean’s biology or chemistry. Others would deflect solar radiation. All have consequences for marine life.
