Summary
[edit]DescriptionPhytoplankton bloom in the arctic ocean in July 2023.png |
English: On 26 July 2023, one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites captured a seasonal phytoplankton bloom off the west coast of the Svalbard Archipelago, in the Arctic Ocean. Phytoplankton blooms are an explosion of microscopic plant-like organisms that thrive in nutrient-rich waters. These blooms play a crucial role in marine ecosystems, serving as the primary food source for various marine species, including fish and whales. Such blooms are often triggered by a combination of factors, such as increased sunlight, warm temperatures, and increased nutrient availability. The Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites allow for monitoring of ocean colour. This monitoring is crucial for understanding changes in phytoplankton levels and the health of marine ecosystems, providing crucial information for the sustainable management of marine resources and the comprehension of global climate cycles. |
