Why The Ocean Is Slowly Losing Its Color
Picture the vast expanse of ocean you've seen in postcards or vacation photos - that brilliant blue stretching endlessly toward the horizon. Yet something profound is happening beneath those familiar ...
To track the changes in ocean color, scientists analyzed measurements of ocean color taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Aqua satellite, which has been ...
The ocean is blue because water absorbs colors in the red part of the light spectrum. Like a filter, this leaves behind colors in the blue part of the light spectrum for us to see. When sunlight hits ...
New research provides the first direct evidence for the Gulf Stream blender effect, identifying a new mechanism of mixing water across the swift-moving current. The results have important implications ...
