- Additional information
- This is the only existing camera capable of studying subsurface bubbles in heavy seas, and is significantly more robust with far higher data capacity than earlier versions (18 hours continuous operation, versus 2h). It has successfully been used to collect climate-critical data sets over long time periods in the North Atlantic [Byron Blomquist, byron.blomquist@noaa.gov], in thick sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, and in methane seeps in the North Sea. This has allowed the most detailed examination yet of the mechanisms driving highly heterogeneous bubble plumes over long time periods, an essential process for global ocean gas uptake.
