6 July 2017 MODIS on Board the satellite "Terra" photographed as the sunlight reflected in the sea around Crete and the Aegean Islands.
The phenomenon of the solar light optical focus. Places where the sea surface is smooth, reflect more sunlight back to the satellite. And Vice versa: region, where raging waves, seem to be darker since the light scatters in different directions.
A dry cool wind from the North — Meltem — often blowing over the Aegean sea in the summer. On the leeward side of the Islands the wind catches the water and mixes it. When air masses meet with Islands and rocky mountain peaks, "wind shadow" with calmer winds (and waves) is formed on the other side of the land. In this case, South.
The dark region among the bright bands talking about wind, rough waters or gaps in geological formations of the relief, which block the wind.
