This can be detected from space using specialized satellite ocean color sensors. It is difficult to say exactly how many phytoplankton cells made up the bloom. However, this bloom off the ...

Feloy and co-authors, Brian Powell and Tobias Friedrich, observed in satellite data previously unreported blooms of phytoplankton off the northern coasts of some Hawaiian Islands. The researchers ...

The study used satellite data to study the causes of major phytoplankton blooms, focusing on the unprecedented Madagascar ...

Like plants and trees on land, phytoplankton in the ocean flourishes in the spring, as captured by satellite ocean color obervations. Green to red values indicate high phytoplankton concentrations.

Scientists have found new evidence that desertification, potentially linked to global warming, leads to large amounts of ...

"This fleet of robots has grown to a point where we can quantify how many phytoplankton there are and monitor where they are and when they 'bloom,' which ... the depth of satellite detection ...
