The Carbon Superhighway: The route from atmosphere to deep sea
Just as highways experience traffic on land, the ocean experiences its own daily commute. But instead of cars, this commute involves tiny aquatic plants-phytoplankton-that soak up carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels, shielding us from the harmful impacts of climate change. And the data provided by Biogeochemical-Argo (BGC-Argo) floats gives us more insight into how this ocean “carbon superhighway” works.
The carbon superhighway, also known as the “biological pump”, is a process that transports carbon dioxide from the atmosphere down into the deep sea. Phytoplankton first take up carbon dioxide at the ocean’s surface into their bodies via photosynthesis, and then are eaten by tiny animals called zooplankton. The dead bodies and waste products of phytoplankton and zooplankton, as well as fragments of other dead organisms, all sink through the water column. As the particles fall, they are eaten up in the deep ocean and transformed into carbon dioxide. That carbon dioxide gets trapped in the deep water layers, staying out of contact with the atmosphere for a few thousand years.
Understanding the carbon superhighway is important because the ocean is one of Earth’s biggest carbon dioxide storehouses, soaking up about 25% of the total human carbon emissions per year. This is due in no small part to the biological pump’s work in transporting atmospheric carbon dioxide to the deep ocean. However, as conditions in the ocean alter with climate change, responding shifts in plankton populations will influence just how effective the biological pump continues to be. The slower the carbon superhighway, the less carbon the ocean can store, and the faster our planet warms.
That’s why the real-time information collected by BGC-Argo floats is so important: by giving us a window into the carbon superhighway and other ocean processes, these floats are helping scientists to better understand and predict the impacts of climate change, to improve ocean health.

Ocean’s breath: Autonomous robotic floats measure seasonal cycles in the ocean
Переглядів 7962 роки тому
Just like land, the ocean has seasons. There are seasons when things grow and seasons when things decay. We know this thanks to hundreds of robotic floats equipped with oxygen sensors collecting data about ocean health and transmitting it back to scientists on shore. These floats are part of an international research program called Argo. Each dot represents one float. The color of the dots repr...

Starting in 2014, the Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations and Modeling (SOCCOM) program deployed a large array of robotic biogeochemical floats, based on the Argo design, carrying sensors to monitor the chemical and biological properties of the ocean. SOCCOM floats have operated for nearly six years in the remote, stormy, and often ice-covered Southern Ocean-arguably one of the harsh...

Microscopic marine life plays a fundamental role in the health of our planet. Just like plants on land, tiny phytoplankton use photosynthesis to consume carbon dioxide and convert it into organic matter and oxygen. This biological transformation is called marine primary productivity, and it ebbs and flows in response to changes in our climate. The sheer scale of the ocean makes it challenging t...

    This movie perpetuate misconceptions about the ocean. Ocean's seasonality is NOT similar to that on land. While on land in large areas production ceases in winter, it most of the ocean phytoplankton keep reproducing year round (except under polar night). The undersaturation of oxygen at the surface is due to a net respiration by the ocean (more respiration than production), but production goes on. Similarly in the summer there is respiratioin (roughtly all of the daily production is consumed each day). It is said to see that misconseption that were identified as wrong years ago are still presented to the public as factual.

    Nothing in this video makes sense. Its confusing mid water column exchanges with the deep ocean as atmospheric interaction. IIs describing the Antarctic circumpolar current creation, but it starts to describe the Coriolis effect. It goes into carbon dioxide as if that can effect something and never goes into detail.

    There is no proof that human activity has anything to do with a changing climate but it won't stop the hoaxers (aka "scientists") from pushing the hoax. Because that's where the money is. That's where the grants are. They did this back in the 80s with Ozone Depletion and blaming human activity for it. Your perfume and hairsprays were apparently decreasing Ozone levels in the upper atmosphere ! What a crock. When it turned out human activity had nothing to do with it, it quietly dropped off the radar.
