Scientists from the Terra satellite received an amazing picture of clouds of non-standard shape that appeared over the islands of Cape Verde (Atlantic). The landmass is located about 600 km from the west coast of the African continent.

Green Cape includes 10 islands, 7 of which are flat. 3 islands (Fogo, Santa Antao and San Nicolau) rise to a height of almost three kilometers, preventing the circulation of winds and creating eddies. Undulating air flows can only be seen when there are clouds.

The phenomenon called von Karman vortices takes place at certain wind speeds, it is created by vortex separation. Wind flows occur both around peaks and around various structures, antennas, chimneys, etc. Engineers create special structures so that the resulting flows do not destroy buildings.

You can admire the most beautiful patterns in the wild. Previously, similar images were taken in the Greenland Sea and the Indian Ocean.
