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
The 3 graphs show temperature, salinity, and oxygen from the surface to 300 m versus year from 2018 through 2025 for profiling float 5905383. The map shows the trajectory of the float from deployment in the Weddell Gyre (green square) and a loop around the Weddell sea to the present position at the red square.

🌊🧪@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.
