In early 2025 southern California was affected by a serious harmful algal bloom. Satellite data, such as that from Copernicus Sentinel-3 & others supports the monitoring & management of these blooms & their impacts bit.ly/4ndbsY0 @hayleyeversking.bsky.social @brloveday.bsky.social

This image shows a 'diatom bloom' off the California coast, captured by Sentinel-3 on April 6.
A toxin producing species (Pseudo-nitzschia) makes this a harmful algal bloom, impacting marine life along the coast. Our partners at NOAA have been monitoring the event, read more here: bit.ly/3GWOaom

In addition to the immediate societal impacts, flood events can have long term impacts on water quality & marine ecosystems. This case follows the impacts that floods after Storm Daniel had on the Thessaly & Volos regions of Greece between 2023 & 2024 bit.ly/4jo3zwr #remotesensing #earthobservation

Aurorae & sea surface height may seem unrelated but they aren’t if you are an altimetrist! Find out how solar storms affect our ability to measure sea level & how we correct for it in this Copernicus Sentinel-6 marine case study bit.ly/3REFB3I #earthobservation #remotesensing @brloveday.bsky.social

🌊 Happy #WorldWaterDay! 🌊

The ocean regulates our climate, supports biodiversity, and sustains life.

#CopernicusMarine provides #OpenData on:
⚪ Sea ice
🟢 Ocean biogeochemistry
🔵 Sea surface temperature & more

This data is key to supporting sustainable ocean management worldwide
