	Hawaiian Islands, Pacific Ocean - NASA/Johnson Space Center (NASA-JSC) This cloudy view of the Hawaiian Islands (21.0N, 157.5W) demonstrates the phenomena of island water wakes and, to a lesser extent, cloud wakes as well. The islands form an obstruction to the ocean current flow and in effect create an observable turbulence in the water on the backside of the islands. The same effect can be observed in clouds as they leave wind blown wisps or streamers around obstacles in their path. Keywords: Where -- Pacific Ocean Downloads: 1
