Von Kármán vortex cloud swirls from Jeju Island of Republic of Korea (South Korea)

    This Copernicus Sentinel-3 image acquired on 19 April 2021 shows several vortical cloud patterns swirling downwind south of the Spanish Canary Islands, off the coast of northwestern Africa.   These beautiful spiral clouds, known as Von Kármán vortices, form when atmospheric circulation is disturbed by the presence of mountainous obstacles. The peculiar spiral clouds which can be seen in this image were formed as the wind airflow was deflected by the relief of the Canary Islands. These Von Kármán vortices can be seen extending 400 km southwest due to the strong trade winds that were blowing at the time the image was acquired.   The study of atmospheric phenomena is fundamental to the understanding the fluid dynamics that underly numerous scenarios of our daily lives, from aircraft take-offs to the change in weather conditions. Open data supplied by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission are crucial in the advancement of scientific knowledge on cloud dynamic...

Climate change is changing hurricanes. How?

Climate change is changing hurricanes. How?  #EarthScience #NASA #Hurricanes #ClimateChange  Image Descriptions 1: An image of Hurricane Idalia from space taken by an astronaut aboard the ISS is positioned in the bottom half of the image. White text reads “Climate change is affecting Hurricanes.” with “hurricanes” in blue lettering on a black background at the top.  2: An image divided into four panels by blue lines. The left most panel runs top to bottom showing a piece of the image from the previous slide while the other three panels divide the right side of the image. The top is white text on a black background and reads “How do hurricanes form?”. The middle shows an image of an eye of a hurricane from space. The bottom panel reads “4 main ingredients:” in blue text and lists “Warm ocean waters near the surface, High humidity in the air, Favorable winds, and A pre-existing disturbance (like a cluster of thunderstorms”  3: An image with white text on a black backgr...
