The greater the absorption, the brighter the invisible fluorescence from growing plants.3. The U.S. corn belt is the most efficient CO2 absorber in the world!4.

The extra energy is mostly released as heat as the plants respirate oxygen and water vapor. But a fraction of that energy is re-emitted as fluorescent light, particularly in red wavelengths. MODIS is the first instrument to observe this signal on a global scale.Red-light fluorescence says something about the physiology of plants and the efficiency of photosynthesis, as different parts of the plant's energy-harnessing machinery are activated based on the amount of light and nutrients available. The amount of fluorescence increases when plants are under stress from a lack of iron, a critical nutrient in the sea. When water is iron-poor, plants slow their growing processes and struggle to dissipate excess solar energy that cannot be used in photosynthesis. The fluorescence data from MODIS gives scientists a tool to see where waters are iron-enriched or iron-limited, and where plankton might flourish or not. Iron is typically picked up by winds blowing dust from deserts and other arid areas, and by river plumes and island currents. || ", "hits": 70 }, { "id": 40238, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/hyperwall-themes/", "result_type": "Gallery", "release_date": "2005-09-15T12:00:00-04:00", "title": "Hyperwall Stories for specific event", "description": "The hyperwall gallery features visualizations that have been selected for use at NASA's hyperwall at event\nReturn to Main Hyperwall Gallery.", "hits": 153 }, { "id": 1127, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/1127/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2000-04-13T12:00:00-04:00", "title": "Chlorophyll in the Bay of Bengal with Fluorescence", "description": "For more information on INDOEX, please visit http://www-indoex.ucsd.edu. || IndoEX Chlorophyll Levels || a001127.00005_print.png (720x480) [594.8 KB] || IndoExChlorophyll_pre.jpg (320x240) [16.3 KB] || a001127_pre.jpg (320x242) [13.4 KB] || a001127.webmhd.webm (960x540) [4.3 MB] || a001127.dv (720x480) [75.4 MB] || a001127.mp4 (640x480) [3.9 MB] || IndoExChlorophyll.mov (320x240) [1.7 MB] || a001127.mpg (352x240) [2.7 MB] || ", "hits": 16 } ] }
