Ocean | NASA Earthdata The ocean covers more than 70% of Earth’s surface and contains 97% of the planet’s water This vast, critical reservoir supports a abundance of life and helps regulate Earth’s climate
Ocean Topic: Biological Carbon Pump - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution The ocean’s so-called biological carbon pump removes carbon from the atmosphere and stores it deep in the ocean on timescales that are important to the lifespan of humans The solubility carbon pump, which stores much larger amounts of carbon, operates on timescales in the thousands of years and is a much slower mixing process
Why is the ocean vital for our survival? - Woods Hole Oceanographic . . . Without the ocean, life as we know it wouldn't be possible There are a number of key reasons why First, the ocean is the largest source of oxygen on Earth According to scientists, approximately half of the planet's oxygen production originates from the sea Most of this oxygen is created in the top 200 meters (656 feet) of the ocean's surface Within this depth, sunlight penetrates
Ocean Biology DAAC | NASA Earthdata Ocean color is the apparent hue, shade, or tone of water that results from the interactions of sunlight with the microscopic composition of the water column and water itself Typical relevant water constituents include phytoplankton, mineral particles, and dissolved organic matter The color of the ocean varies with how these materials in seawater absorb and scatter photons of different
SOTO | NASA Earthdata NASA's State of the Ocean (SOTO) is an interactive web-based tool that generates informative maps, animations, and plots that communicate and prove the discovery and analysis of the state of the oceans
Sentinel-3B OLCI Level-2 Regional Earth-observation Full . . . - Earthdata The Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) is the successor to ENVISAT's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) having additional spectral channels, different camera arrangements and simplified on-board processing
Why is the ocean blue? - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Why is the ocean blue? People have wondered this for hundreds of years One idea is that it reflects the sky And it does-on the surface From the coast, it may appear a deep blue on a sunny day Or gray when it's stormy Or even turn a brilliant pink during sunrise or sunset But if we sink below the surface, the blue color remains Here, the water isn't reflecting the sky The blue hue is
Ocean Facts - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Ocean Life Can probiotics make coral reefs healthier? Just as humans use probiotics to prevent sickness and promote better health, the Reef Solutions team at WHOI is trying to determine if a naturally-occurring probiotic in the ocean-a bacteria known as Synechococcus -can offer similar benefits to corals
