21% of the ocean is getting darker?!and 9% of it, a region the size of the ENTIRE content of Africa, has lost 50/200 meters of its life-bearing photic zone where 90% of marine life lives? :0 because of algal blooms? Fascinating! Had fun with this one!! Post your scicomm vids in the /science channel all!! :)

I like talking about our awesome planet, doing engineering, and making music. And of course, DRAGONS!!!🐉🐉🐉

What’s the driver, ocean temps? Dissolved O2, increased sunlight/nutrients?

Likely to influence faster volumes of evaporation as well.

Oceans absorb 90% of the heat trapped by greenhouse gases. It’s a huge regulator of temperature because of water’s high specific what capacity. But the past few years have seen global surface temperatures about 10% hotter than the 20 year average!! Potentially, it’s becoming oversaturated of heat.
