Titre : North Pacific Bloom
Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)
Many images are made of relatively bright phytoplankton blooms. However, not all such blooms reflect more light than they absorb. satellite collected this image of a patch in the north Pacific that had been darkened because the photosynthetic pigments of the phytoplankton living there had absorbed more of the incoming solar radiation than the relatively phytoplankton-poor surrounding waters.The Hawaiian islands can be seen through the clouds about 1000 kilometers to the southwest of the patch.
