🌊 New NOC-led research suggests limiting global warming to around 1.5–2°C could help the North Atlantic spring phytoplankton bloom recover over time. But if warming rises beyond this before net zero is reached, the bloom could continue declining. Read here: https://orlo.uk/EFaCT 📷 NASA

Boaty McBoatface has returned from its first expedition under glacial mélange! Our friends at @noc.ac.uk sent the UK's favourite submarine on a 23hr mission from the RRS Sir David Attenborough. This data will help show how Greenland's glaciers interact with the fjords and oceans.

Tiny, invisible swirls and twirls – not much bigger than a coin – deep below the ocean’s surface are silently shaping some of the biggest forces steering our climate: sea-level rise, fisheries collapse, extreme flooding, and how much carbon dioxide the ocean absorbs. 📷 Tasman Sea | NASA

🌡️ MARINE HEATWAVE UPDATE - as of 19 July 26🌊 📉 There are signs the marine heatwave is declining ↙️ Cool water from Norway appears to be spreading southwest ‼️Whilst conditions may be declining, many areas are still warmer than usual 👇Find out what's happening beneath the surface at link below

🌊 Our ocean is absorbing heat from the atmosphere this summer, and it's just not getting a chance to cool down. Just like heatwaves on land, we get them in the ocean too. Oceanographer Dr. Zoe Jacobs explains the severe, successive marine heatwaves hitting UK waters right now. #marineheatwave
