Always fascinating to see how much personality you can find underwater in the Med Sea — even in 15°C water in March, when your hands are numb 🦞

#OSM26 this morning: Southern Ocean carbon sink in focus with @tricuso.bsky.social people ❄️

If you like your oceans cold and your carbon budgets complicated, this is the place. Come hear about all the Southern Ocean is doing to the global carbon cycle before most people finish their first coffee 🌊

Don’t forget, our first #OSM26 SOCONET Townhall is today at 12:45 in Hall 3. Come share your thoughts with us! 🌊

@pablotrucco.bsky.social can’t wait to see you!

You all, come see our #OSM26 session on Tuesday morning 🌊❄️

In Glasgow for #OSM26. Was promised rain all week. Day one: pure sun. Scotland, behaving ☀️

This week’s forecast just upgraded itself to: “awesome week for the first European OSM” 😎

There’s a communication kit in the presenter reminder emails! It’s a link to Canva.

Super "pumped" for #OSM26 next week in Glasgow 🌊 let's chat!

Autonomous Sensor for In Situ Measurements of Total Alkalinity in the Ocean Total alkalinity (TA) is one of the measurable parameters that characterize the oceanic carbonate system. A high temporal and spatial frequency in TA data can lead to better measurements, modeling, an...

🌊 Allisson Schaap et al. (2025) developed a submersible Total Alkalinity sensor capable of autonomous, direct measurements at full ocean depth.

Passive acoustic monitoring from profiling floats as a pathway to scalable autonomous observations of global surface wind Abstract. Wind forcing plays a pivotal role in driving upper-ocean physical and biogeochemical processes, yet direct wind observations remain sparse in many regions of the global ocean. While passive ...

🔬 @ldelaigue.bsky.social et al. (2026) demonstrated how passive acoustic sensors mounted on biogeochemical #Argo floats can retrieve surface wind speed from hundreds of metres below the ocean surface.

Can you “hear” the wind from 1000 m depth? Turns out: yes.
As part of @tricuso.bsky.social and @george-project.bsky.social, we demonstrate passive acoustic wind estimates from BGC-Argo floats, a step toward global, autonomous wind observations. 🌊🎧

What our missing ocean float revealed about Antartica’s melting glaciers Our ocean float spent years adrift in the Antarctic ocean and beneath massive ice shelves. What it found will help us estimate global sea-level rise.

🌊 Serendipity often drives science forward.

A “lost” Argo float drifted under Antarctica’s ice shelves and resurfaced with a warning: warm water is creeping under major glaciers like Denman and Totten.

What’s at risk? Up to 5 m of global sea-level rise.

NEW DATE!!

SOCAT QCers, save the date! On 22nd January 2026 we will hold a SOCAT secondary data quality control (QC) hackathon. This will run for 24 hours starting at 00:00 UTC.

Everyone will have the chance to chat and exchange about QC issues while QCing data sets.

Figure 7Long-term trend G of surface pCO2 from the monthly mappings and the climatology construction (Eq. 1). Areas where the long-term trend is not significant are cross-hatched. In the southern Baltic Sea, a significant increase of +1.4 µatm yr−1 is obtained from the observations. Selected parts of the northern Baltic proper, the Åland Sea, and the Gulf of Finland give a similar increase of +1.5 µatm yr−1, while the western and eastern Gotland Basin show no significant long-term trend.

Henry Bittig et al.* present extrapolated maps of surface ocean CO₂ in the Baltic Sea.
