Areas where the sea surface is smoother reflect more sunlight directly back to the satellite\u2019s imager. In contrast, areas of rougher water appear darker because light is scattered in many more directions.<\/p>\n<p>Dry, cool winds from the north, called the Etesian winds, are common over the Aegean Sea during summer. On the windward side of the islands, those winds pile up the water and disturb the surface. But as those air masses run into the islands and their rocky peaks, a \u201cwind shadow\u201d with much calmer winds (and seas) form on the leeward side of islands (in this case, the south sides). Darker areas amid the bright streaks could be the result of wind or water turbulence, or perhaps breaks in the wind-blocking land topography.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/antiparos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/FB_IMG_1499807501539.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-29910 alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/antiparos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/FB_IMG_1499807501539.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/antiparos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/FB_IMG_1499807501539.jpg 720w, https:\/\/antiparos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/FB_IMG_1499807501539-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/antiparos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/FB_IMG_1499807501539-375x500.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/go.nasa.gov\/2uUscbk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On July 6, 2017, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA\u2019s Terra satellite captured this image of sunglint on&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":33566,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[190,189,191],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-blog-el","category-antiparos-el","category-news_post-el"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 -
