Spring in the North Atlantic is formidable. Storm-lashed, frigid, gray. The subpolar region is so tumultuous that ever-vigilant space satellites often can't penetrate the almost perpetual cloud cover, unable to provide a clear view of one of the most important life-sustaining events on the planet - the spring phytoplankton bloom. That means if researchers ever hope to understand the phenomenon, they have to take to the high seas. [Source: UMaine Today]
