Robotic Probes Monitor Climate Change Effect on Ocean Microbes

A fleet of robotic probes called floats will investigate the effect of global warming in the ocean.
The probes detect the pH, temperature and oxygen levels.
The floats have already found how CO2 level increases in winter and oxygen drops.
They are also useful in discovering new Phytoplankton blooms.
Next year they will be used to understand the effect of El Nino.

In a Science Magazine article, Paul Voosen writes on global warming’s impact on microscopic ocean life and how robotic probes...
