Eddies along the North-West Coast of Norway
 This
ERS-1 SAR image from 14 July 1993 shows a series of cyclonic eddy structures
off the north west coast of Norway. Accumulation of surfactants is assumed to
cause the streaked ribbon patterns of low backscatter.
The synoptic wind recorded in the region close to the time of acquisition of
the image was 5 m/s from the north (see weather
map ).
The lines in the interpretation figure
illustrate vortex outlines.
