Each individual bubble is a tiny object in a vast ocean.
But together they influence the upper ocean.
Bubbles generate sound when they form and scatter sound. Bubbles change the colour and transparency of the ocean because they scatter light. Bubbles act as small vehicles transporting gases through the ocean surface in both directions. When bubbles rise to the surface and burst, they spit tiny liquid droplets up into the sky. Those aerosol particles formed in this way scatter light & haze. And they may drift high enough to act as cloud condensation nuclei.
