Climate warming has led to melting of Himalayan glaciers, weakening monsoon and rapid reproduction of deep-sea algae Noctiluca scintillans in recent years, the ecosystem of the Arabian sea on the verge of destruction, says Science Alert.
According to an employee of Columbia University Joaquim Goes, Alga, the accumulation of which became visible from space, eats zooplankton and fish. Marine animals only suffer and die in the perishable bloom of Noctiluca scintillans water.
This is probably one of the most dramatic developments that we have observed related to climate change — said Goes.
The researcher said that earlier cold wind from the Himalayas cooled water in the Arabian sea, causing the layers of different temperature and density mix, enriched with nutrients and oxygen. Global warming has accelerated the melting of glaciers, so the monsoons in the Indian oceans have become warmer, and the water began to stagnate.
