Summary

English: Carbonate sediments lofted by Tropical Cyclone Pam were spotted when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA�s Terra satellite captured this true-color image of the South Pacific Ocean on March 16 at 23:05 UTC (7:05 p.m. EDT). The cloud of blue is a sign of Tropical Cyclone Pam's passage. Pam was a Category 5 hurricane that churned the warm ocean waters and brought sediment from the ocean floor to the surface. It is the sediment that scatters light, giving the water its brilliant color. |
