The GO-BGC array is observing El Niño in real time! Check out our time series of pCO2, nitrate, chlorophyll and POC from autonomous BGC-Argo floats to see how this event compares to 2024, and look for future updates at www.go-bgc.org. @montereyken.bsky.social @bgc-argo.bsky.social

A recording of last week's webinar on the uncertain future of GO-BGC is available now on the OCB YouTube channel - watch for the latest on the array's status and its role in ocean observing: youtu.be/Y8mVCnme_XE?... @usocb.bsky.social @globaloceanbgc.bsky.social @bgc-argo.bsky.social

GO-BGC has nearly completed deploying our global biogeochemical float array, but our future is uncertain. Join us for an OCB-hosted webinar on GO-BGC's status and role in ocean observing on Wed.,Sept. 23 at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET. tinyurl.com/bdct692k @usocb.bsky.social @globaloceanbgc.bsky.social

Join the GO-BGC data team for DMQC office hours tomorrow ! There will be 2 sessions on Sept. 10 focused on floats caught in global audits (7:00 A.M. PT and 5:00 P.M. PT). More information and resources from previous sessions available at www.go-bgc.org/resources/we... @globaloceanbgc.bsky.social

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

What's interesting as the Thanksgiving Holiday arrives? The first @bgc-argo.bsky.social profiling floats begin to emerge from under Antarctic sea ice each year. Float 5905383 is the first @soccomproject.bsky.social float for 2025/26. It has spent 7.9 years operating under ice. #argofloats #oneargo

Fantastic opportunity to dip your toe into the world of SciComm -

🌊 As the #UNOC3 gets underway, the international community is calling for increased support for #OneArgo, a key phase of the #Argo program, which is essential for monitoring the ocean and addressing climate challenges. @cnrs.fr @euro-argo.eu www.ifremer.fr/en/espace-pr...

A crew of floating robots helped researchers estimate that 2.69 billion tons of carbon are exported to the deep ocean.

🌊🧪@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.

The GO-BGC and SOCCOM programs successfully deployed 115 BGC-Argo profiling floats in 2024. Real-time data collected by these biogeochemical floats is helping scientists better understand, predict, and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Download data for your research: www.go-bgc.org/data
