Summary[edit]
DescriptionMassive algal blooms in the Gulf of Finland.jpg |
English: Every summer, colourful algal blooms can be observed in the shallow waters of the Baltic Sea. As this image acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 8 August 2022 shows, a massive algal bloom was ongoing in the central-eastern part of the Baltic Sea, known as the Gulf of Finland. This bloom was probably triggered by heat waves in the area in June and July 2022. According to Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service data, the current sea surface temperature anomaly in the area is of approximately +2ºC. The resolution of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites allows Copernicus services to monitor marine biological activity and water quality worldwide. |
