On September 15, researchers published a study finding that the smoke and ash from #Australia's devastating 2019 and 2020 #wildfires had likely triggered a widespread #algal bloom in the Southern Ocean.
Two days later, another study published in Nature Communications revealed that this sort of thing had happened before. In the #Permian...

Spectral characterization, radiative forcing and pigment content of coastal #Antarctic snow algae: approaches to spectrally discriminate red and green communities and their impact on #snowmelt
#Algal biomass in the snow and #albedo reduction are well-correlated across the visible spectrum. Relative to clean snow, visibly green patches reduce snow albedo by ∼40 % and red patches by ∼20 %.

Warming Himalayas cause deadly #algal #bloom in Arabian Sea
As snow and ice melt in the #Himalayan mountains, winter winds that blow down are becoming warmer and more humid. This alters the currents of the #ArabianSea and distribution of #nutrients – and in turn the marine #food chain, with #fish
struggling in the new conditions.
