Titre : Cloud swirls in the wake of Cape Verde Islands
Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)
Looking at the swirls in the clouds seen in the wake of the Cape Verde Islands in This true-color image made from data acquired on May 20, 2001, it is easy to see why atmospheric scientists often treat the atmosphere as though it were a fluid in their weather and climate models. The Islands appear to be having the same effect on the atmosphere as would a ship plowing though the waters below--leaving swirling water in its wake.
