- Ocean Topic: Biological Carbon Pump - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
The ocean’s so-called biological carbon pump removes carbon from the atmosphere and stores it deep in the ocean on timescales that are important to the lifespan of humans The solubility carbon pump, which stores much larger amounts of carbon, operates on timescales in the thousands of years and is a much slower mixing process

- Ocean Color - NASA Earthdata
Ocean color is a measure of sunlight that is reflected by the water and its components, such as phytoplankton, sediments, and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) Remotely collected ocean color data can be used as a substitute for directly sampling and examining water quality in any body of water
