Mystery Plankton Bloom in the Bering Sea: Image of the Day
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The seawifs.gsfc.nasa.gov/ Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) has been observing the development of a large rust-colored phytoplankton bloom in the Bering Sea during the first week of June 2001. Scientists are unsure what species of phytoplankton is responsible for the reddish color. Yet, comparing yesterday's image (top) with today's (bottom), the rust-colored bloom appears to be intensifying even as it spreads over a larger area. This bloom is mingling with other, lighter-colored plankton, most likely made up of a number of different species thriving now throughout the region. Thanks to the cloud cover receding, more surface water is visible to the south in the June 7 image. Notice how the plankton blooms in the waters to the south nicely delineate the eddies in the Bering Sea's surface waters. There is also some bright brown sediment-laden water visible around Alaska's Yukon River delta toward the east (right) side of the image. The still snow-covered St. Lawrence Island is located about 130 miles (210 km) west of the Yukon Delta.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
