Notes
Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 47, No. 1, Pg. 17: A ‘MILKY SEA’—A 5,946-square-mile patch of bioluminescent bacteria off the coast of Somalia, detected by satellite in January 1995, is superimposed on a composite of two different Earth atlases (day and night) with actual cloud data. The satellite data of the bacterial patch have been colorized to approximate the natural bacterial emission spectrum, since the low-light satellite sensor perceives light as only gray scale (see Page 16). Crew aboard a ship passing through the area at the time, the SS Lima, also reported the “milky sea” phenomenon.
