In healthy bogs, peat moss does not fully decay, and instead slowly builds up to form layers of carbon-rich peat. However, if the bog dries out, or is damaged by fire, the carbon is released – adding to the effects of climate change. The Flow Country is the largest remaining expanse of blanket bog in Europe, and it is estimated that the carbon stored equals 100 years’ worth of Scotland’s fossil fuel emissions. Satellite imagery can be used to create maps of peatlands, measure soil moisture, and detect disturbances such as fires, making it cheaper and easier to monitor and preserve these valuable landscapes. \r\n\r\nCredits: contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data (2018, 2019), processed by ESA, CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO",

"text": "## Oceans and Climate\r\n\r\nEarth’s oceans are huge heat stores. They have soaked up 93% of the excess heat from human activity over the past 70 years. Ocean currents redistribute heat around the planet, from the Equator to the poles. At the surface they are driven mainly by winds. At depth they are caused by differences in water density due to temperature and salinity.\r\n\r\nWhere this ocean heat goes influences weather patterns and regional climate. Europe’s mild climate is due to the warm Gulf Stream and North Atlantic Current. Ocean heat waves can lead to coral bleaching and habitat loss.\r\n\r\nAs well as absorbing heat, oceans are a natural carbon sink. They absorb about a quarter of the carbon dioxide emissions from human activity. This has led to the acidification of ocean water, threatening marine life.\r\n\r\nThe amount of heat and carbon dioxide absorbed depends on a number of ocean variables, such as phytoplankton concentration, temperature, waves, salinity and ice cover. All can be measured from space. Satellites can measure sea level and slope, from which surface currents can be derived. Maps of ocean salinity show regions of evaporation, precipitation and river inflow. High evaporation in the enclosed basin of the Mediterranean Sea raises its salinity. Elsewhere, rainfall and upwelling lower salinity.\r\n\r\nOcean salinity rises in areas where sea ice forms, because salt is left behind when the water freezes. This cold, salty, dense water sinks into the oceans’ depths on a centuries-long journey known as the thermohaline circulation.\r\n\r\nThis vertical overturning of the ocean is crucial for regulating global climate and helps drive surface\r\ncurrents like the Gulf Stream. As the climate warms, there are some signs that the overturning in the North Atlantic is weakening, which could lead to cooler air over Europe and more winter storms. The Atlantic coast of North America could see higher sea levels, warmer waters and more powerful hurricanes.\r\n\r\nESA’s Climate Change Initiative is producing long-term datasets that help us understand how oceans influence climate and how the changing climate is affecting our oceans.\r\n\r\n(Data from CCI SST, Ocean Colour, Sea State, Salinity and Sea Ice teams, Landsat-8, CryoSat.
