Over two months into the experiment, and three gliders continue operating out of the initial 6 platforms. The Bjarni Saemundsson rescued one float and one glider. The remaining gliders will continue executing a fixed repeat pattern through June.

So far, the project has captured the growth and saturation of the North Atlantic Bloom south of Iceland using a combination of autonomous floats and gliders and research vessels. A remarkable degree of spatial structure has been revealed apparently due to modulation of the bloom intensity by ocean eddies. Despite the strong structure on the 1-20 km scale, there is a clear seasonal pattern revealed by averaging over all of the platforms. The progression of the bloom has been marked by changes in the dominant phytoplankton type and clear evidence of the export of carbon through sinking from both traditional and optical methods.
