About half of the carbon dioxide emitted into Earth's atmosphere each year ends up in the ocean, and plankton absorbs much of it. NASA's North Atlantic Aerosols and Marine Ecosystems (NAAMES) study went to sea and air to study the world's largest plankton bloom and how it gives rise to small organic particles that leave the ocean and end up in the atmosphere, ultimately influencing clouds and climate.

In May, scientists took to the field for the second of four campaigns aboard a Canada-based NASA research aircraft and a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution research vessel.
