New research highlights the link between desertification and significant phytoplankton blooms in the Indian Ocean. A team led by John A. Gittings found that nutrient-rich dust from southern African ...
Feloy and co-authors, Brian Powell and Tobias Friedrich, observed in satellite data previously unreported blooms of phytoplankton off the northern coasts of some Hawaiian Islands. The researchers ...
Like plants and trees on land, phytoplankton in the ocean flourishes in the spring, as captured by satellite ocean color obervations. Green to red values indicate high phytoplankton concentrations.
When the two currents meet, the resulting turbulence causes upwelling, which can drive large amounts of nutrients to the surface, which is partly responsible for phytoplankton blooms. These blooms ...
