How ocean plankton blooms influence the clouds that regulate our climate
In short: This video explores how NASA's NAAMES mission investigates the link between massive plankton blooms and the atmosphere. Discover how organic particles released from the sea might actually shape the Earth's climate by influencing cloud formation.
The North Atlantic Aerosols and Marine Ecosystems Study (NAAMES) examines the relationship between marine biology and atmospheric processes. Scientists focus on how plankton absorb roughly half of the carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere annually. The mission investigates how these blooms produce small organic particles that escape the ocean to enter the atmosphere, potentially affecting cloud development and global climate patterns.
