https://lnkd.in/guhD_8bF Earth has continued to grow green since the turn of the century and this could help moderate global warming, according to new maps released by the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA). High levels of carbon dioxide increased photosynthesis, according to authors of a review paper published in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment. An updated map (above) released by the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) showed how greenness increased between 2000 and 2018 globally. The areas where greenness increased were marked in green and areas where it decreased were marked in brown.

Exciting new research, led by Cassidy Soloff, on "Bridging Gas and Aerosol Properties between the Northeastern U.S. and Bermuda," as part of NASA's ACTIVATE mission. The research investigates the transition of atmospheric properties from the polluted U.S. East Coast to the much cleaner marine environment of the North Atlantic. Based on eight transit flights, the paper examines the evolution of gas and aerosol characteristics, with implications extending to the interaction between continental outflow and marine air masses. Huge congratulations to Cassidy Soloff for leading this impactful work!

The internal temperature of the ocean has been increasing since modern recordkeeping began in 1955. The ocean has been absorbing the increased amount of heat trapped by greenhouse gasses in the Earth system. If the ocean absorbs more heat than is released, its heat content rises. The graph on the map above illustrates this increase in ocean heat content. The ocean heat graph is overlaid on a map in the Spilhaus projection to highlight the world’s oceans. This map projection presents the oceans as one body of water.

According to a study by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Arctic Ocean is now releasing more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than it absorbs. This reversal of roles could have far-reaching effects on global climate patterns and further exacerbate the ongoing issue of rising greenhouse gas emissions.

Interesting findings from an international group of researchers suggest that marine cloud brightening (MCB*) could be a highly effective method for mitigating #globalwarming. The study focuses on aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI) and the efficacy of MCB, a form of #geoengineering that could help combat #climatechange. *MCB is the injecting of aerosols (sea salt) into marine clouds to enhance their reflectivity. #future #climateaction #climate #ocean #sea Ying Chen Yu Wang Florent Malavelle George J.

On May 29, the European-Japanese EarthCARE satellite went into Earth orbit. It will help scientists to study clouds and their impact on climate change. It will also measure radiation emitted from the Earth's surface and atmosphere.

Summary – NASA has launched a new satellite, dubbed PACE, under its earth sciences program. Its name is an acronym for Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, and ocean Ecosystem satellite mission. It was sent into space from Cape Canaveral by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. NASA’s goal is to observe phytoplankton in the oceans, which are important to Earth’s carbon cycle. These phytoplankton are critical to Earth’s food chain. Currently, global warming is having adverse impacts on them, and NASA is using this new satellite so that further research might be conducted on how to prevent harm and provide aid to the carbon system in the future most effectively. It utilizes hyperspectral technology, which monitors ocean color to determine the amounts of phytoplankton in certain areas. Takeaways – The carbon cycle provides crucial stability to the atmosphere and to the air we breathe. Being able to monitor the phytoplankton which contribute heavily to the wellbeing of the atmosphere and the health of the environment. This technology will allow for this monitoring to increase on a large scale. Implication—The ability to monitor phytoplankton allows for greater amounts of preventative measures to be taken towards global warming in the future. If NASA is able to effectively identify which parts of the ocean require the greatest focus in restoring phytoplankton to aid the environment, businesses can capitalize off of this information by taking their own action and marketing this aid to the public. Larger space firms such as Blue Origin or SpaceX might also be able to replicate NASA’s technologies and profit off of them. https://lnkd.in/gAY4PF6N

This is one of the more powerful graphics I've seen.
