Summary
[edit]DescriptionPhytoplankton bloom in the Barents Sea.jpg |
English: Phytoplankton are marine microscopic plant-like organisms that need sunlight to thrive. During the summer of 2020, the high insolation levels associated to severe heatwaves that have affected high latitudes, have led to numerous phytoplankton blooms in many ice-free areas of the Arctic Ocean. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 21 August 2020, shows a bloom of Phytoplankton in the Barents Sea, north of Scandinavia and Russia. Availability of Phytoplankton in the oceans is an indicator of the health of a marine ecosystem: data retrieved by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites allow to monitor the availability of Phytoplankton in the ocean and the water quality. |
