Ammonium deposited over the open ocean comes almost entirely from natural marine sources, not from human activities like agriculture, as was previously believed, a new study of rain samples taken in Bermuda suggests.
Two years of rainwater samples collected at the Tudor Hill Marine Atmospheric Observatory enabled a team of researchers from BIOS, Brown University and Princeton University to track sources of nitrogen to the open ocean.

An oceanographer is deploying an undersea glider to take measurements during the Category 3 storm, which is expected to hit Bermuda. Hopefully, the rare underwater perspective will yield insights that can be used to develop forecasting models.
