Marine Snow Deep Sea News Mbari’s new sinker imaging system provides real time observations of the tiny particles of marine snow that drive carbon storage in the deep sea, helping fill critical gaps in our understanding of earth’s carbon cycle. Mbari’s new sinker imaging system provides real time observations of the tiny particles of marine snow that drive carbon storage in the deep sea.

What Is Marine Snow National Marine Sanctuary Foundation A key innovation in the project is the fluxcam, a novel marine snow camera system designed to measure the sinking speeds of different sized particles to reduce uncertainties in how much carbon the ocean absorbs from the atmosphere. In the paper hidden comet tails of marine snow impede ocean based carbon sequestration published in science, the research team used a novel in situ microscope and hydrodynamic treadmill to reveal that marine snow possesses a ‘comet tail like’ shape that is dressed in mucus. Tzex, the twilight zone explorer, is deployed in the ocean to gather data about marine snow, biological particles that float through the water column, and serve the important role of transporting carbon from surface waters to the deep sea. A new study published in proceedings of the national academy of sciences suggests bacteria living inside marine snow may be responsible. the discovery could reshape how researchers understand the biological carbon pump, one of the ocean’s most important climate regulating processes.

Marine snow acts as the ocean’s main “biological pump,” the process by which the ocean pulls carbon from the surface down into the deep ocean. scientists estimate that marine snow is responsible for drawing down billions of tons of carbon each year. A key innovation in the project is the fluxcam, a novel marine snow camera system designed to measure the sinking speeds of different sized particles to reduce uncertainties in how much carbon the ocean absorbs from the atmosphere. Abstract. simultaneous measurements of marine snow (particles larger than 600 µm) morphologies, estimates of their in situ sinking speeds, and midwater attenuation in export plumes were performed for the first time using a biogeochemical (bgc) argo float equipped with optical and imaging sensors. Mbari’s new sinker imaging system, developed by scientist colleen durkin and a team of scientists and engineers, provides real time observations of the tiny particles of marine snow that drive.
