HELLO! Mystery of Milky Sea Milky sea effect off the coast of Somalia in the Indian Ocean. Milky seas, also called mareel, is a luminous phenomenon in the ocean in which large areas of seawater appear to glow translucently. Such occurrences glow brightly enough at night to be visible from satellites orbiting Earth. In July 2015, at Alleppey, Kerala, India, the phenomenon occurred and the National Institute of Oceanography and Kerala Fisheries Department researched it, finding that the glittering waves were the result of Noctiluca scintillans. In 2005, Steven Miller of the Naval Research Laboratory in Monterey, California, was able to match 1995 satellite images with a first-hand account of a merchant ship. U.S. Defense Meteorological Satellite Program showed the milky area to be approximately 15,400 km2 (5,900 mi² ) (roughly the size of Connecticut). The luminescent field was observed to glow over three consecutive nights. “It’s a really huge and kind of mysterious response in our biosphere. We’d like to know how it works, and how that might change in a changing climate,” he said. Defense Meteorological Satellite Program showed the milky area to be approximately 15,400 km² (5,900 mi² ) (roughly the size of Connecticut). The luminescent field was observed to glow over three consecutive nights. Scientists unravel mystery of 'milky seas' made by billions of trillions of luminous bacteria. Bioluminescence phenomenon has long eluded scientific inquiry owing to its remote and infrequent nature. I hope you are enjoy today's video!
