Title : North Pacific Bloom
Caption :
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.
