As per NASA, the gases produced due to human activities are altering the ocean. Talking more about their visualization, the space agency revealed, that different colours reflect average temperature of sea surface currents.
According to space agency, warmers colours (red, orange, and yellow) depicts warm temperatures, while cooler colours (green and blue) depict cooler temperature.
It further revealed, that increasing produce of greenhouse gases from human activities are forever altering our oceans. NASA vowed, that they will try to find more.
