Algal bloom of enormous magnitude has developed off the Danish west coast over the past week. The chlorophyll values saturate the satellite algorithm and a brown-green discoloration is easily visible in an RGB image.

A two-ship sampling day on the Humber oceanography course. Anchor station on my boat, with the Humber Guardian taking plankton samples nearby.

A good start to oceanography training week on the Humber with a series of stations between Grimsby and Hull. Those wind turbine nacelles and towers are huge.

This patch of sea off the coast of Waterford is always one of the first to show high chlorophyll indicating the spring bloom is underway. What are the special conditions here?

The people who produce this Mauna Loa atmospheric CO₂ record have a lab in Hilo, Hawaiʻi, about 50 miles (80 km) from the observatory. By closing the lab, it'll be really difficult to maintain the CO₂ observations.
