Each spring in the Southern Ocean, sometimes seen from space by @NASA satellites, swirling blooms of solar-powered phytoplankton turn CO2 into food for everything else. While we know the blooms are critical to the biological carbon pump, what triggers them is up for debate.

In #ASLO_Letters, researchers from @IMASUTAS, @ClimateExtremes, @CSIRO & @Ant_Partnership use chlorophyll, phytoplankton carbon & nitrate to understand the best indicator for the timing of blooms - the first study to look at all 3 at once.

They use data from 7114 profiles from 56 BGC-Argo floats circling #Antarctica to measure the biogeochemistry of the Southern Ocean south of 60°S, like this by @SOCCOMProject. See how the @bgc_argo float rights itself in the water, ready to start a mission of at least 3 years.
