Exploring the dynamic interplay between the Indian Ocean's sea surface temperatures and salinity levels, as depicted in Aquarius images C017 / 6816, C017 / 6817, C017 / 6819, and C017 / 6820. Witness the stark contrasts in temperature and salinity, with warmer waters near the equator and cooler, more saline waters towards the poles. Meanwhile, in the Atlantic, observe an adult Gannet (Sula bassana) taking flight from the surface of the Sound of Eigg, off the West Coast of Scotland, while a flock of Cory shearwaters (Calonectris diomedea) gracefully glide above the waves in the Azores. The Indian and Atlantic Oceans, two vast bodies of water, each with their unique characteristics, showcasing the wonders of our ever-changing marine world.
