The first truly global view of the Earth's biosphere is seen here. The composite image of the ocean chlorophyll concentration was produced from 31,352, 4-km resolution CZCS scenes from November 1978, through June 1981, each of which corresponds to approximately 2 million square kilometers of ocean surface. Nearly 400 billion bytes of raw CZCS data located on more than 12,000, 9-track computer tapes were used to make this image. Land vegetation patterns are derived from three years of daily images from NOAA-7's visible and near infrared sensors (credit: C. J. Tucker, NASA/GSFC). Numbers on the inset show the location of features illustrated in detail on other plates contained in this folder.
