Settling of particles in the upper 100 m of the ocean detected with autonomous profiling floats off California
Description: Scientists deployed an autonomous profiling float, the SOLOPC, to sample the concentration of particles larger than 100 μm off the California coast at approximately hourly intervals down to at least 100 m for periods as long as 12 d. They used the data to estimate total aggregate concentrations hourly at 2-m depth intervals, studying the dynamics of particle sedimentation in this difficult-to-sample region.
