Besides mapping the distribution of phytoplankton pigments in the 

 surface layer of the ocean, CZCS imagery shows spatial patterns that 

 contain valuable information on water movement and mixing. In the 

 following example, a particularly striking turbulent eddy field is visible in 

 the water north of the Gulf Stream, which appears to be affected by the 

 New England Seamount chain.
