Default Blanket Weed Vanished Overnight

This morning the blanket weed has come back again. I think what happened it
that the strong wind and rain dislodged the gas bubbles, that were buoying
up the blanket weed, so it sank. Since then it has produced more gas
bubbles and risen to the surface again.
So is blanket weed an oxygenator?

My wildlife non-fish pond was about a quarter covered in fairly attractive
floating blanket weed. Last night we had about 25mm of rain and strong
winds. This morning all the surface blanket weed is gone. Anyone know

what
might have happened to it? It has not been blown to any one corner; and
besides it was a bugger to shift since it held tight to the other plants.

thanks, Davy
