White Water over Blue
Our planet is called blue for its oceans; nevertheless, that blue is always
partially hidden by an ever-moving, global collection of water droplets
and ice crystals that add substantial whiteness to Earth's mien. It is
because these clouds move, that ocean color scientists can ply their
trade -- taking advantage of ocean-reflected light from cloud-free areas
to deduce optical properties of the water column.
The above SeaWiFS composite -- collected during half a day on October 26,
2008 -- depicts Earth's cloudiness well but still offers views of interesting
ocean features such as: spring blooms across the Patagonian Shelf,
Mississippi-River-enhanced greenness in the northern Gulf of Mexico,
and darkness in the southeastern Caribbean caused by
CDOM in the Orinoco River plume.
