SeaWiFS recorded this bloom in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean on May 4, 2001. The brightest portion of the bloom is located about 2000 kilometers due east of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. The tops of the Corner Seamounts are about 1700 meters below the turquoise water. Sensor: OrbView-2/SeaWiFS. Data Start Date: 5/4/01.

SeaWiFS provided a cloud-free view of a large phytoplankton bloom in the Celtic Sea in this image captured on May 21, 2001. The brightness of the water suggests that this may be a coccolithophore bloom. The bloom, which looks a bit like a stylized "F" and "e" tipped over backwards, covers an area roughly 35,000 square kilometers (approximately 13,000 square miles). Sensor: OrbView-2/SeaWiFS. Data Start Date: 5/21/01.

A large area of ocean near the edge of the Patagonian Shelf was almost completely dark yesterday as can be seen in this SeaWiFS image. The responsible phytoplankton community must differ substantially -- either in species composition, total biomass, vertical distribution, or some combination of the three -- from those in the surrounding more brightly-colored waters.

Satellites provide a view from space of changes on the Earth’s surface. This series of images from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) aboard the Orbview-2 satellite shows the dramatic change in the color of Lake Michigan during the summer. The bright color that appears in late summer is probably caused by calcium carbonate—chalk—in the water. Lake Michigan always has a lot of calcium carbonate in it because the floor of the lake is limestone. During most of the year the...
