Description
The Gulf Stream waters flow in somewhat parallel layers, slicing across what is otherwise a fairly turbulent western North Atlantic Ocean in this March 9, 2016 image collected by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on NASA's Suomi NPP satellite. The turbulence, made visible here by the pigmented phytoplankton that trails through the ocean, extends across the entire North American Basin, from the Virgin Islands (at bottom of image) to Cape Cod (top).
