Ocean News 11: Is The Ocean Getting Darker? First Underwater Volcanic Eruption & Under Glacier Video
Is the Ocean Getting Darker?
This is Ocean and Marine Science News episode 11 featuring “Is the Global Ocean Getting Darker”? A new study shows 10% of the Global Ocean has gotten darker and light is traveling 50 meters less on average. Why is the Ocean getting darker? We explore in this show. Also in this episode we have the first ever Volcanic Eruption caught on an Mid Ocean Ridge. Did you know 80% of the World’s Volcano Eruptions are under the Ocean? What happens when a Volcano erupts under water?
We also had some very other interesting updates, the first ever under glacial video was recorded by the NOC in the Arctic Circle, the reason for Hurricane Intensification is river plumes of fresh water? You may need to see our D-2 Inc CTD’s to measure the salinity changes in river deltas to better predict storms.
