Summary

Description
English: This Copernicus Sentinel-3 image acquired on 24 May over Mexico bay, shows several cloud patterns swirling downwind of the Guadalupe Island. These cool patterns are called Von Kármán vortices. Von Kármán vortices typically form when wind impacts elevated land features, such as islands, that disrupt the airflow and produce spiral patterns in the clouds. In addition to Von Kármán vortices, a series of colourful concentric rings, bright red on the outside and blue toward the centre are also visible. They result from a particular optical phenomenon, called gloria, which takes place when water droplets scatter sunlight back toward a source of light. Data derived from the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission imagery are essential to improve scientific knowledge about marine pollution and biological productivity, two important indicators of climate change.
