| Plankton Bloom, Argentina: A large, multi-colored plankton bloom was observed and photographed by the STS-88 crew in the South Atlantic Ocean, off the southern coast of Argentina. The bloom could mark productive waters that support regional fisheries. Such blooms are difficult to observe and map from the surface; the view from space provides the larger coverage necessary for regional observations. |
