Oceans - Science News Animals In a first, orcas and dolphins seen possibly hunting together New footage shows orcas and dolphins coordinating hunts, hinting at interspecies teamwork to track and catch salmon off
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
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
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 Circulation - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Ocean circulation refers to the flow of water throughout the world's oceans, which acts as a fundamental driver of Earth's climate This continuous movement redistributes heat, cycles essential nutrients for marine life, and affects the structure and health of ocean ecosystems
