Tracking “Blue Tear” Blooms - NASA Earth Observatory
2019年10月6日 · But despite the beauty of these “blue tear” blooms, when these bioluminescent organisms aggregate or grow into very high concentrations, they can form massive “red tides” that can harm marine life and create dead zones. Scientists typically study such blooms by boat, but their vast size makes it difficult to map their full extent.
