Scientists have unveiled a groundbreaking method (CSAC) to harmonize satellite ocean color data across various satellites, which paved the way for the generation of reliable, global-scale, long-term, ...

A new study analyzing 20 years of data has found that our oceans have changed color, indicating a significant shift in marine ecosystems that is likely due to human-caused climate change. For decades, ...

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 ...

Scientists analyzing satellite data on ocean color are gaining new insights into ocean productivity and climate. A green ocean is a productive ocean; the light from the sun fuels the “bloom” of ...

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 ...

A green ocean is a productive ocean; the light from the sun helps the phytoplankton — tiny ocean plants — to be productive. This production in turn drives ocean food webs. New research, published in ...

The oceans of today look different from the oceans of 20 years ago, researchers found in a new study. Around 56% of the world's oceans have changed color, with the blue waters becoming greener over ...

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 ...

A new study introduces ACA-SIM (atmospheric correction based on satellite–in situ matchup data), a neural-network-based atmospheric correction ...

Ocean color measurements reveal a wealth of ecologically important characteristics including: chlorophyll concentration, the rate of phytoplankton photosynthesis, sediment transport, dispersion of ...
