NASA recently shared a visualization providing information on how greenhouse gases impact Earth's water bodies. It raises significant concerns, as the NASA temperature visualization shows how the ocean is changing over time due to climate change.
The visualization of the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean, Phase II (ECCO2) model was posted on the official Instagram account @nasaclimatechange.
In the visualization, the information is displayed in the form of colours. Warm red, orange, and yellow represent the average temperature of the ocean, while cooler regions are represented by green and blue.
The increase in greenhouse gas levels is heating up the atmosphere of the Earth resulting in the ocean temperature rise. According to research, around 90 % of the heat of Earth is absorbed by the oceans.
Additionally, NASA has a fascinating visualization that depicts atmospheric carbon dioxide sources, sea level rise and other climate change-related data on their official Instagram account.
The ocean is turning greener, in the period of 20 years the presence of green hues that is phytoplankton has increased and the monitoring of this is done, under the mission to observe the population shifts and increment in phytoplankton.
Since the oceans regulate the Earth's temperature, they are extremely important. 70 % of our globe is covered with water. Nonetheless, we are witnessing the ocean's transformation due to rising greenhouse gas emissions from human activity. The goal of NASA's mission is to learn more about this rising greenhouse gas level and its impact.
This NASA temperature visualization, which shows how climate change is affecting the ocean, is quite concerning. Its purpose is to raise public awareness of how human activity affects marine life, which ultimately affects human life if stringent precautions aren't followed.
