We have deployed 2 iBOB (ice-tethered Bio Optical #Buoy) units during the last days. They are composed of several sensors measuring e.g. irradiance in the air & under the ice, #chlorophyll in the water, as well as they record #zooplankton & #fish.

Whilst we are all busy with our local daily lives and global pandemics, the Arctic is quietly pushing the sea ice in the shape of a heart. We are lucky our WIMBO5 buoy is paying attention 😀❤️
.@alroker has made his way to the northernmost community in the United States, where things are heating up and not in a good way.
He’s got an inside look at climate change science in Alaska. #AlintheArctic
We can now display conductivity data on our lab data loggers - no need to fetch the logs or reach for the computer/tablet/phone for a quick visual check! All conversions are already built in: top sensor in salty water, bottom sensor in RO water) #sensors#conductivity#LabWork
One of our Weather, Ice Mass Balance & Ocean (WIMBO) buoys deployed in the Arctic Ocean stopped responding two months ago. Today, a built-in fail-safe system brought it back to life! Webcam is still iced-over, but there is a hint of daylight 🌞#Arctic#ClimateChange
‘We’re in the process of redesigning many of the instruments we need to use in the Arctic, due to the melting ice and changing conditions’ @BruncinLtd speaks to @elliegoulding
Back by popular demand! We are finishing up the Ice Mass Balance observation system which will be broadcasting hourly temperature profiles and camera images from @ArcticBasecamp. Stop by for this unique selfie! #ArcticCalling#ArcticMatters#WEF19
