Director Steven Miller authored an article detailing co-located satellite and in-situ observations of milky seas off the coast of Java.

A 2019 milky seas event located off the coast of Java attracted the attention of CIRA researchers, who used the Day-Night Band (DNB) instrument to document the phenomenon.  Subsequent to publications of that work, the crew of the sailing vessel Ganesha, who were engaged in a circumnavigation of the globe and transited the milky sea phenomenon observed, reached out with photographic and descriptive evidence of their transit.  Additional details and colocation of imagery from both the DNB and from the Ganesha are detailed in the new report in PNAS.  (POC: S.

Considerable media interaction on the milky-seas PNAS article was garnered.  Links to the story include:
