Extract

The fine-scale structure of a bloom of the coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi has been mapped for the first time with an airborne thematic mapper (ATM) scanner (visible bands at 420–450 nm, 450–520 nm, 520–600 nm, 605–625 nm and 630–690 nm). The airborne results are in close agreement with simultaneous satellite observations from the visible band (580–680 nm) of the advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR
