[17-May-21] On May 13, 2021, following some rough weather in the northeastern Atlantic, EXPORTS researchers aboard three ships (Discovery, James Cook, and Sarmiento de Gamboa) were taking advantage of sunny weather and calmer seas to collect samples and hope for good satellite overpasses. At the time that the (NOAA-20 and Suomi-NPP) VIIRS data used to construct this image were collected, all three ships were at the location marked by the dot in the orange circle.
