Summary
[edit]DescriptionEarly algal bloom in the Baltic Sea (Copernicus).jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 9 June 2021, shows a massive algal bloom in the Baltic Sea. Algal blooms usually occur in the Baltic Sea in mid-summer. As this Sentinel-2 image shows, at the beginning of June 2021 a large bloom was already present around the island of Gotland in the southern Baltic Sea. This early bloom was probably triggered by the heat waves that affected the area during the spring. According to data published by the Danish Meteorological Institute, positive sea temperature anomalies of more than 4 degrees compared to the 1985-2000 average have been recorded in this part of the Baltic Sea. The resolution of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites allows Copernicus services to monitor marine biological activity and water quality around the world. |
