Earth’s oceans are huge heat stores, soaking up 93% of the excess heat from human activity over the past 70 years. Ocean currents redistribute heat around the planet, from the Equator to the poles. Where this ocean heat goes influences weather patterns and regional climate. As well as absorbing heat, oceans are a natural carbon sink, absorbing a quarter of carbon dioxide emissions from human activity. This has led to the acidification of ocean water, threatening marine life.

The amount of heat and carbon dioxide absorbed depends on a number of ocean variables, all of which can be measured from space.

    "Earth’s oceans are huge heat stores, soaking up 93% of the excess heat from human activity over the past 70 years." A pretty Bold assertion that needs to be backed up ... but isn't What about solar activity and internal dynamics, like vulcanism ? Overall however, the ocean currents and their effects are beautifully explained and illustrated.

    I like this video and the work of the European Space Agency, although measuring the temperature of the surface of an ocean is not equivalent to measuring the temperature of an ocean. Similarly, the temperature at the upper surface of Earth's troposphere is not what we experience in daily life.

    Mais do que nunca o Agora é muito importante monitorizar ..Para que o amanhã seja cada vez mais melhorado !! Incutir responsabilidade e respeito pelos Oceanos são reflexo de vida e conectadas com as nossas vidas!! Um Serviço deveras essencial preservar!! Temos que pensar que o nosso Planeta Azul tem muita água e todos dependemos desta união de elos que já estamos a quebrar, o que nos restará?!

    This is a wonderfully concise and beautiful video about a very interesting topic. Thanks. That's tax euros well spent.

    Could stars , moon , sun help reflection of remote sensing sound and infrared to monitor earth live condition and mother earth health condition
