Natural Science Forum / Earth Science / Oceanography / November 2007Sea (Skin?) Surface Features (see Google Earth)
Hi, Take a look at this location on Google Earth Latitude 0°15'3.78"N Longitude 6°44'54.90"E Does anyone know or have a theory as to what causes these formations? I suspect it is localized wind gusts. It's not uncommon to see similar features on the surface of lakes etc. But don't ask me to explain it! cheers Bill Hi, Take a look at this location on Google Earth Latitude 0°15'3.78"N Longitude 6°44'54.90"E Does anyone know or have a theory as to what causes these formations? Moin, maybe there upwelling along the coast, caused by the winds. So there are a lot of nutrients and clorophyl, and maybe this causes this structres. > I suspect it is localized wind gusts.
