Spring/summer ice retreat and chlorophyll blooms

Image sequences and animations showing the spring/summer retreat of sea ice in East Antarctica and subsequent chlorophyll blooms in the lee of the retreating ice.

These images were generated using sea concentration data from the National Snow and Ice Data Centre, and SeaWiFS chlorophyll-a data from the OceanColor site. For more information on how these images were generated, see this metadata record.

These images/animations can be freely used for research purposes, but please acknowledge their use as described here.
