SeaWiFS image of the Black Sea. The Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) is carried on board the SeaStar spacecraft. Launched in August 1997, SeaWiFS was designed to measure ocean color, providing data on concentrations of phytoplankton (tiny green plants living near the ocean surface), and to study the relation of oceans and global change.
