Indian Ocean, chlorophyll and bathymetry C016 / 3721
Indian Ocean, chlorophyll concentration and bathymetry with clouds. Computer graphic of the Indian Ocean on an Earth globe, generated using satellite and mapping data. Bathymetry data is used to show the contours, ridges, peaks and plateaus of the seabed. Satellite-measured ocean chlorophyll concentrations are colour-coded: high values in red, yellow and green, low values in blue and purple. Chlorophyll is present in photosynthesising plankton blooming where nutrients are concentrated where currents meet, deep water upwells, or nutrients run off from the land. Chlorophyll and cloud data obtained by the MODIS sensor on NASAs Aqua satellite

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Indian Ocean, chlorophyll and bathymetry C016 / 3721" showcases the mesmerizing beauty of our planet's vast aquatic realm. Created using a combination of satellite and mapping data, this computer-generated graphic presents an intricate depiction of the Indian Ocean on a globe. The image incorporates bathymetry data to illustrate the contours, ridges, peaks, and plateaus that lie beneath the ocean's surface. Meanwhile, satellite-measured ocean chlorophyll concentrations are color-coded to reveal areas rich in nutrients where plankton thrives. These vibrant hues range from red and yellow to green for high concentrations, while blue and purple represent lower levels. Chlorophyll is present in photosynthesizing plankton that flourishes where currents converge or deep water upwells occur. It also accumulates where nutrient-rich runoff from land meets the sea. This dynamic interplay between biological processes and geological features is beautifully captured in this image. Obtained by NASA's Aqua satellite with its MODIS sensor, both cloud cover data and chlorophyll measurements contribute to this stunning visual representation. The presence of clouds adds an ethereal touch to the scene while highlighting coastal regions along Australia, India, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Mauritius among others. Through its intricate details encompassing biology (flora/fauna), geology (trenches/ridges), meteorology (clouds/weather), topography (islands/coasts), and more - this print offers a glimpse into Earth's complex interconnectedness across various scientific disciplines.
