have measured quantities of tiny organisms in the water called Prochlorococcus using an instrument called SeaFlow. These organisms are phytoplankton that, like plants, turn carbon dioxide into oxygen. Prochlorococcus is both the smallest and most abundant photosynthesizing organism on the planet. Scientists observed a falloff in the quantity of these organisms as the ships moved northward; however, the falloff did not happen where the water cooled as the scientists expected. This was a bit of a mystery. The scientists hypothesized that the drop off was actually due to competition with other tiny organisms like copiotrophic bacteria and their shared predator Paraphysomonas_sp, a type of zooplankton. They coded this hypothesis into an existing computational model of the oceans called Darwin. Sure enough, in the new version of the computational model that included the predator-prey relationship, the drop off occurred in the same place as the real-world measurements. This model can be used to understand how carbon is absorbed from the atmosphere over all of the world's oceans. This demonstrates the power of scientific research that combines observed data and model data.", "items": [], "extra_data": {} } ], "studio": "svs", "funding_sources": [ "ESE" ], "credits": [ { "role": "Visualizer", "people": [ { "name": "AJ Christensen", "employer": "SSAI" } ] }, { "role": "Scientist", "people": [ { "name": "Stephanie Dutkiewicz", "employer": "Massachusetts Institute of Technology" }, { "name": "Christopher Follett", "employer": "Massachusetts Institute of Technology" }, { "name": "Francois Ribalet", "employer": "University of Washington" } ] }, { "role": "Technical support", "people": [ { "name": "Laurence Schuler", "employer": "ADNET Systems, Inc." }, { "name": "Ian Jones", "employer": "ADNET Systems, Inc." } ] } ], "missions": [], "series": [], "tapes": [], "papers": [ "Trophic interactions with heterotrophic bacteria limit the range of Prochlorococcus", "Trophic interactions with heterotrophic bacteria limit the range of Prochlorococcus" ], "datasets": [ { "name": "doi10.5281/zenodo.3994953", "common_name": "SeaFlow datasets v1.3", "platform": "ship", "sensor": "SeaFlow", "type": "Observed Data", "organizations": [ "University of Washington" ], "description": "SeaFlow is an underway flow cytometer that provides continuous shipboard observations of the abundance and optical properties of small phytoplankton (<5 μm in equivalent spherical diameter, ESD).", "credit": "Annette Hynes, Chris Berthiaume, Francois Ribalet, E Virginia Armbrust", "url": "https://seaflow.netlify.app/", "date_range": null }, { "name": "Darwin", "common_name": "", "platform": null, "sensor": null, "type": "Model", "organizations": [ "Massachusetts Institute of Technology" ], "description": "The Darwin Project is an initiative to advance the development and application of novel models of marine microbes and microbial communities, identifying the relationships of individuals and communities to their environment, connecting cellular-scale processes to global microbial community structure.", "credit": "Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, Simons Foundation, NSF, NASA", "url": "https://darwinproject.mit.edu/", "date_range": null } ], "nasa_science_categories": [ "Earth" ], "keywords": [ "Biosphere", "Earth Science", "Hyperwall", "Microbiota Taxonomy", "Model Data", "Phytoplankton", "Prochlorococcus" ], "recommended_pages": [], "related": [ { "id": 14361, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14361/", "page_type": "Produced Video", "title": "The Insanely Important World of Phytoplankton", "description": "Music: \"Born to Hold On,\" \"Busy Body,\" \"Hidden Beings,\" \"In Doubt,\" \"Investigation,\" Universal Production MusicComplete transcript available.Video descriptions available. || Phyto_thumb.png (1920x1080) [5.3 MB] || Phyto_thumb_print.jpg (1024x576) [333.1 KB] || Phyto_thumb_searchweb.png (320x180) [120.8 KB] || Phyto_thumb_thm.png (80x40) [7.3 KB] || Phytoplankton_prores.webm (1920x1080) [39.3 MB] || Phytoplankton.en_US.srt [8.1 KB] || Phytoplankton.en_US.vtt [7.7 KB] || Phytoplankton_YT.mp4 (1920x1080) [219.4 MB] || Phytoplankton_prores.mov (1920x1080) [4.8 GB] || ", "release_date": "2023-06-08T00:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2023-06-08T07:55:13.387033-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 855704, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a014300/a014361/Phyto_thumb.png", "filename": "Phyto_thumb.png", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Music: \"Born to Hold On,\" \"Busy Body,\" \"Hidden Beings,\" \"In Doubt,\" \"Investigation,\" Universal Production MusicComplete transcript available.Video descriptions available.", "width": 1920, "height": 1080, "pixels": 2073600 } }, { "id": 4976, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4976/", "page_type": "Visualization", "title": "Seaflow Search for Prochlorococcus", "description": "Overview of data collected from research ship paths through the north Pacific Ocean measuring the phytoplankton species Prochlorococcus with an instrument called Seaflow.
