🌊 New Publication Alert! 🌊 I'm excited to share my latest research article: Satellite-based chlorophyll-a concentration variability and its relation to environmental changes in the Marmara Sea authors.elsevier.com/a/1lAKI8MvAu3f… #Marmara Sea #Oceanography #Remote sensing #Marine mucilage

Out today in Nature, our new paper on the drivers of the extreme summertime heating of the North Atlantic during 2023. Temperatures across much of the basin warmed to record high levels in the space of just a few months. The impacts on climate and ecosystems were severe. A thread

My recent study investigates satellite-based chlorophyll-a variability in the Marmara Sea. The first study to generate spatial and temporal Chl-a climatologies for the Marmara Sea using satellite data. To read or download 👉authors.elsevier.com/a/1lAKI8MvAu3f… #Marmara #Mucilage #Oceans

☀️ A marine heatwave is ongoing in the Mediterranean Sea. This data visualisation, based on Copernicus Marine data, shows sea surface temperature anomalies recorded on 22 June. Areas in dark🔴 indicate temperatures more than 5°C above the seasonal average. #ImageOfTheDay #CopernicusEU

🌡️🌊 PRESS RELEASE Marine Heatwaves in the Mediterranean sea reach records in June 2025 and highest mean surface temperature to date. Read the full press release: mercator-ocean.eu/june-2025-mark…

You are looking at Sea Surface Temps last June (2024) compared to this June (2025). Much of the World, especially the tropics which are the biggest area of ocean basin, have finally cooled off (blue) after a couple of blazing hot - historic - years. Some of this is due to the

Here is an old favourite. Shipping lanes. This time drawn using the Spilhaus projection, which centers the map on Antartica and presents the worlds oceans as one continuous body. Created by Athelstan F. Spilhaus, a South African-American geophysicist and oceanographer in 1942

Turkey registers it's hottest day on record. Turkey's meteorological service has confirmed the 50.5C recorded in Silopi on Friday was an all-time temperature record for the country. It was also Turkeys first 50C day. 132 weather stations in total broke July temperature records.

For decades, nobody knew why coho salmon in Seattle’s streams would swim upstream strong and healthy, then spiral, twitch and suffocate within hours of rain. Whole runs gone overnight. In 2020, researchers solved the mystery, a tyre additive called 6PPD. It reacts with ozone in

Sea-surface temps are running a fever across most of northern oceans. Not a good look going into fall. Above-normal SSTs mean 1) more evaporation => heavier precipitation, 2) warmer air, 3) slow sea-ice growth, and 4) unusual weather patterns. Buckle up!

Each year, enough dust to build 1,000 copies of the Great Pyramid of Giza is lofted into the atmosphere. These grains of sand seed cloud formation, fertilize the seafloor, and impact heat retention. Mere specks of dust influence the nature of the entire planet.

Brace for Hurricane #Gabrielle impact on the Azores, which is expected to have significant winds and storm surges by Friday morning. severe-weather.eu/global-weather…

A pretty spectacular satellite image of the ex-hurricane #Gabrielle now approaching the Iberian Peninsula. The center of the low, around 992 mbar, will go onshore in central Portugal tonight. Severe winds and high waves are expected along the coast.

Climate change contains feedback loops. A warmer atmosphere, for example, can hold more water, which in turn doubles the total warming and draws even more water into the air. quantamagazine.org/the-climate-ch…

"Probability does not exist." This provocative quote is by the Italian statistician and probabilist Bruno de Finetti. It encapsulates the core idea of Subjectivism or Bayesianism, a major school of thought in probability. De Finetti argued that probability is not an objective

Mapping ocean currents sounds simple. But it's one of the hardest problems in climate science. NASA spent decades developing ECCO to solve it. Here's the breakdown:
