Abstract
The article presents a study which estimates the carbon biomass distributions of the global marine plankton know as coccolithophores. The study used remote sensing approaches, a quality control procedure, and statistical analyses. Results show that biomass distributions in North Atlantic were the highest biomass values, and all planktons were seen across the latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere.
