English: NASA SeaWiFS image taken on April 25, 1998, showing the en:coccolithophoreen:bloom in the en:Bering Sea. This is not a false-color image: the greenish color is caused by the high concentration of en:phytoplankton. NB Subsequent research suggests that this image, and others from the area showing bright waters early in the year, probably show resedimented particles not an active coccolithophore bloom (Broerse et al. 2003, Continental Shelf Research, 23, 1579-1596).
This image is from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) Project and more than 5 years old.
Satellite data captured by the SeaWIFS sensor are released into the public domain 5 years after capture. Data less than five years old can be re-used only for educational or scientific purposes; any commercial use of such images must be coordinated with GeoEye. [1]
