Climate change, causing oceans to become more green
Posted on 16 July, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi
Highlights;
More than half of the world's oceans have become greener over the past 20 years, likely due to global warming. This was determined by analyzing 20 years of data on ocean color from NASA's Aqua satellite.
The greening indicates increased phytoplankton and algae in the surface waters. Phytoplankton contain chlorophyll which makes the ocean appear greener.
The tropical and subtropical waters between 40°S and 40°N latitude changed the most in color. These areas...
