It’s not a new NASCAR event! The Pivers Island Coastal Observatory (PICO) logged its 600th time point today. The observatory, which was originally established to monitor ocean acidification, now includes a suite of physical, chemical and biological measurements made at least weekly throughout the year towards understanding coastal ocean variability in a changing ocean climate. The time-series is supported by NSF #1416665 and is a collaborative project with the Hunt research group. Thanks to all of the PICO team for contributing to these observations over many years.
