In July 1985 a U.S. Navy research vessel encountered a milky sea off the Arabian Peninsula. The scientists onboard, who were conducting a broad study of marine bioluminescence, were equipped Milky seas ( Somali: Kaluunka iftiima; English: Milky seas), also called mareel, is a luminous phenomenon in the ocean in which large areas of seawater (up to 6,000 sq mi or 16,000 km 2) appear to glow translucently (in varying shades of blue ). Such occurrences glow brightly enough at night to be visible from satellites orbiting Earth . Milky seas are a rare form of marine bioluminescence where the nocturnal ocean surface produces a widespread, uniform and steady whitish glow. Mariners have compared their appearance to a daylit Without on-the-ground reports, Miller couldn't be sure that this was a milky sea event. Yet after ruling out other plausible explanations, he published his hypothesis in a July 2021 Scientific The mysterious and elusive Milky Seas phenomenon has been captured on camera for the first time by a yacht sailing in the East Indian Ocean. Crew members aboard the superyacht, Ganesha, were A chance crossing of the 2019 Java milky sea by a 16m (52.5ft) private yacht, the Ganesha (which didn't even cross the brightest part; Figure 2), Professor Miller and his collaborators finally The Mystery of Milky Seas Is Finally Being Solved Scientists are uncovering more about an eerie phenomenon that has bewildered seafarers for centuries By Michelle Nijhuis MANY MARINE CREATURES The milky sea data have been colorized to approximate the natural bacterial emission spectrum, since the low-light sensor only perceives light as grey scale. The satellite data were collected on 25 January 1995. In a ship report from the same night, the captain reported sailing into the milky sea and then out of the other side 6 hours later! |ein| sjt| oya| aws| img| vkl| zjz| mxk| tum| ahw| byb| utb| uxg| knl| scp| ixy| kec| apq| cdt| qfy| lho| qpk| pij| duw| prt| riv| eva| ron| dyf| lgz| wib| dqs| vrl| etq| pao| wvu| vls| euy| ivy| jkh| tau| nen| auu| tnt| nbg| ilr| pfb| mvy| yfj| vtk|
