Prochlorococcus This is a photosynthesizing marine microbe – it uses light and CO 2 to produce glucose and oxygen. 50% of the oxygen in the atmosphere is produced by these organisms! It is typically found in the photic zone of the water column where light can penetrate – This happens from surface – appx. 200m deep Image: SEM of Prochlorococcus MIT9215, pseudocolored Taken by: Anne Thompson

How We Observe: Technologies CTD – The CTD is lowered into the water. It takes measurements continuously as it moves vertically through the water column. Rosette – This device also moves vertically through the column. At different points in the water column, containers are programmed to collect water at specific depths for further analysis.

How We Observe: Technologies Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) – These vehicles are programmed to take continuous data as they move up and down in the water column. – They are also programmed to collect water at different points in the water column. – http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_ embedded&v=0d3KHbGqSMA http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_ embedded&v=0d3KHbGqSMA
