Deep Dive takes a deep look at the latest research from scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography. In this episode, Scripps Director Margaret Leinen speaks with Dr. Nathalie Zilberman, a physical oceanographer who uses innovative technology to observe and measure warming, circulation and dynamics of the ocean.
Nathalie Zilberman is an assistant researcher at Scripps in the Integrative Oceanography and Climate, Atmospheric Science, and Physical Oceanography Divisions at Scripps. She also serves as the co-chair of the Deep Argo Mission Team, and oversees the data and production of the Core Argo and Deep Argo array.

0:25 Introducing Dr. Nathalie Zilberman
1:27 Nathalie Zilberman gives overview of her research on ocean circulation using Argo data, ocean heat, deep western boundary currents, testing of oxygen sensors to study ocean deoxygenation, and the building of Argo floats at Scripps.
4:32 Nathalie Zilberman discusses using Deep Argo data to study sea level
5:50 How scientists can use Deep Argo to measure ocean bathymetry, a collaboration with Scripps scientists David Sandwell
6:24 Margaret Leinen asks, can you explain how an Argo float works?
8:58 How many countries contribute floats to Argo and Deep Argo?
9:40 Natalie, there is a history of the Argo program at Scripps. Can you tell me how the Argo program started and Scripps involvement in it?
14:35 Deep Argo and oxygen sensors
16:29 What was involved in the technology development of Deep Argo?
20:20 What does data analysis from the floats entail? Nathalie discusses quality control, repeat hydrography, and key reference data.
25:00 Nathalie discusses what physical oceanographers consider as the deep ocean, and what we are learning from Deep Argo deployments
29:35 Are there enough Deep Argo data now to let us understand whether the deep ocean is warming?
33:25 Discussion of plans to expand Deep Argo regional arrays
34:50 What are some other research questions that can be answered with a denser array of Deep Argo floats?
38:00 Nathalie Zilberman discusses scientific potential to use Deep Argo data for ocean bathymetry, or seafloor mapping
