Difference data between CZCS and SeaWiFS for the world with black land 2497 Decadal Comparison of Plankton Levels
Monthly averages of phytoplankton density in the Pacific from September 1997 through May 1998 as measured by SeaWiFS 207 SeaWiFS Phytoplankton in the Pacific: September 1997 through May 1998
SeaWiFS True Color Phytoplankton Concentration Global Biosphere 169 SeaWiFS True Color Phytoplankton Concentration Global Biosphere
SeaWiFS Galapagos Island Zoom Showing phytoplankton concentrations before and during El Nino. There is lots of phytoplankton prior to El Ninos warm waters, but once the warm waters dominate the area, most of the phytoplankton disappear. 168 SeaWiFS Galapagos Island Zoom Showing Before and During El Nino
A rotating globe showing swaths of true color imagery from SeaWIFS fades to a globe showing ocean phytoplankton measurements from SeaWiFS. Regions of black in the ocean represent regions where cloud cover has so far prevented phytoplankton measurements. 166 SeaWiFS Data Swaths Phytoplankton Concentration
Carbon is all around us. This unique atom is the basic building block of life, and its compounds form solids, liquids, or gases. Carbon helps form the bodies of living organisms; it dissolves in the ocean; mixes in the atmosphere; and can be stored in the crust of the planet. A carbon atom could spend millions of years moving through this complex cycle. The ocean plays the most critical role in regulating Earth's carbon balance, and understanding how the carbon cycle is changing is key to understanding Earth's changing climate. <p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10498 Keeping Up With Carbon
One tiny marine plant makes life on Earth possible: phytoplankton. These microscopic photosynthetic drifters form the basis of the marine food web, they regulate carbon in the atmosphere, and are responsible for half of the photosynthesis that takes place on this planet. Earth's climate is changing at an unprecedented rate, and as our home planet warms, so does the ocean. Warming waters have big consequences for phytoplankton and for the planet. <p><p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10497 The Ocean's Green Machines
This conceptual animation illustrates some of the ecological pathways between species within the marine ecosystem. Single-celled microscopic plants called phytoplankton float in the upper ocean. These photosynthetic plants form the foundation of the marine food web, and nearly all life in the ocean depend upon them for survival, including microscopic zooplankton and whales. 10495 Marine Food Web
