AI Summary

In June 2023 a severe marine heat wave hit the North Sea. Scientists normally use satellite imagery to track changes in ocean color, which indicates phytoplankton activity. Satellites, however, can only detect surface signals. During this heat wave researchers found a significant biological response occurring beneath the surface that satellites missed. The study highlights the limits of satellite monitoring for deep‑water ecological changes.
