Phytoplankton Bloom Off Newfoundland Coast Viewed from Space, August 2010 Image
This image captures a large phytoplankton bloom in the North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland in early August 2010. Taken by the MODIS instrument on NASA’s Terra satellite, the swirling, paisley pattern of vibrant peacock blue signifies the abundance of these microscopic organisms. Phytoplankton blooms are critical to studying marine ecology, climate change, and ocean health, making this image a valuable resource for educational materials, environmental research publications, and presentations on marine biology and satellite technology.
