Sealoves & LecturePhantom
Hey, noticed some odd currents yesterday that could be affecting plankton levels—got any recent data on that?
I did a quick dive on that yesterday—grabbed the last satellite drift data from NOAA, and my own field notebook shows the surface current near the shelf broke into a 0.8‑meter‑per‑second eddy around 11:30 GMT. The temperature dropped by 1.2 °C, which usually pushes diatoms to the deeper layers. I’ve plotted the chlorophyll‑a fluorescence spikes in my spreadsheet, and the peak at 12:15 GMT lines up with the eddy turning.
Oh, and while I was at it, I noticed the octopi around the kelp beds were doing more vertical leaps—maybe they’re reacting to the same nutrient influx. I’m going to tag that with a “cephalopod reaction” flag in the database, just in case someone wants to cross‑reference later.
Also, a quick superstition check: the dolphins I saw yesterday seemed to be singing oddly, so I’m marking this as a possible “server crash predictor” event—just keeping my records tidy. Let me know if you need the raw CSV files or the raw data from my handheld spectrometer.
Sounds like a solid setup. Send over the CSV when you can. Good work.
