ISRO’s Oceansat-3 satellite has detected a decline in Pacific Ocean surface chlorophyll-a levels during June 2026, indicating early biological and physical changes linked to developing El Nino conditions. Scientists observed altered surface winds and reduced marine productivity, offering insights into how the climate phenomenon may influence global weather patterns.
A developing El Nino is already leaving its mark on the Pacific Ocean, with an Isro satellite detecting a noticeable fall in surface chlorophyll-a levels during June 2026. The decline points to changes in marine productivity and offers an early glimpse of how the climate phenomenon is beginning to affect ocean conditions.
Observations from Isro’s Oceansat-3 satellite show that the drop in chlorophyll-a coincided with changes in surface winds across the equatorial Pacific. The findings suggest that the developing El Nino is not just an atmospheric event but is also triggering visible biological and physical changes in the ocean.
Satellite data reveals a shifting Pacific
Oceansat-3, also known as Earth Observation System EOS-06, was launched in 2022 to monitor ocean and atmospheric conditions. Its sensors track physical changes in the ocean as well as variations in marine biology.
