            "title": "A Decade of Ocean Color",
            "description": "A decade of observations from the SeaWiFS satellite are represented in this image, which shows average chlorophyll concentrations in Earth’s oceans from mid-September 1997 through the end of August 2007. Areas where plants thrive are light blue and yellow, while less productive regions are dark blue. The satellite records the amount of light that chlorophyll is soaking up as the plant converts light, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen through photosynthesis. In general, high chlorophyll corresponds with a high number of healthy plants. The global relationship between temperature and productivity was one that scientists first observed in SeaWiFS data. The places with the lowest chlorophyll concentrations are in the tropics, while the cold waters in the Arctic and Antarctic have high chlorophyll concentrations. What the image does not show is that the growth at the poles is seasonal. The plants only flourish during the spring and summer when there is sufficient light to fuel photosynthesis. || ",

            "title": "Bright Waters off Namibia's Coast",
            "description": "Ocean waters glowed peacock green off the northern Namibian coast on November 21, 2010. These bright swirls of green occur along a continental shelf bustling with biological activity. Phytoplankton blooms often occur along coastlines where nutrient-rich waters well up from ocean depths. The light color of this ocean water suggests the calcite plating of coccolithophores.Farther south along the coast of Namibia, hydrogen sulfide eruptions occur fairly frequently. According to a study published in 2009, ocean currents deliver oxygen-poor water from the north, while the bacteria that break down phytoplankton also consume oxygen, depleting the supply even more. In this oxygen-poor environment, anaerobic bacteria produce hydrogen sulfide gas. When the hydrogen sulfide reaches oxygen-rich surface waters, sulfur precipitates into the water. The sulfur’s yellow mixes with the deep blue ocean to make bright green. So this swirl of bright green could contain phytoplankton, sulfur, or a combination of the two. || ",

            "title": "Bloom in the Ross Sea",
            "description": "Every southern spring and summer the Ross Sea bursts with life. Floating, microscopic plants, known as phytoplankton, soak up the sunlight and the nutrients and grow into prodigious blooms. Those blooms become a great banquet for krill, fish, penguins, whales, and other marine species. This true-color image captures such a bloom in the Ross Sea on January 22, 2011. Bright greens of plant-life have replaced the deep blues of open ocean water. The Ross Sea is a relatively shallow bay in the Antarctic coastline and due south from New Zealand. As the spring weather thaws the sea ice around Antarctica, areas of open water surrounded by ice—polynyas—open up on the continental shelf. In this open water, sunlight provides the fuel and various current systems provide nutrients from deeper waters to form blooms that can stretch 100 to 200 kilometers (60 to 120 miles). These blooms are among the largest in extent and abundance in the world. || ",
