Summary
[edit]DescriptionPhytoplankon blooms in the Black Sea (MODIS 2017-05-31).jpg |
English: Oh May 29, 2017, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Terra satellite acquired a stunning true-color image of phytoplankton blooms in the Black Sea.
The blue, green, and turquoise swirls represent huge colonies of single-celled, microscopic organisms called phytoplankton. These plant-like organisms live in the waters year-round in small numbers but when they have the right combination of nutrients, water temperature, and sunlight they can reproduce explosively, creating blooms that can easily be seen from space. |
