15 May 2001 This figure shows the Eastern Bering Sea in the spring. Broken pack ice is seen off the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta and in the Gulf of Anadyr. Color variations in the water can be made by cloud shadows, phytoplanton, river sediment, and in very shallow waters even bottom topography can be detected. |
