The Malvinas/Falkland Current, an offshoot from the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, transports phytoplankton into the South Atlantic Ocean along the South American coast up to the Brazil–Malvinas Confluence. Based on the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) project at the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, this image shows chlorophyll concentrations in shades of blue (lower concentrations) to yellow (higher).
This image is from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) Project and more than 5 years old.
Satellite data captured by the SeaWIFS sensor are released into the public domain 5 years after capture. Data less than five years old can be re-used only for educational or scientific purposes; any commercial use of such images must be coordinated with GeoEye. [1]
