von Karman vortices, Sea of Japan: Distinct von Karmen vortices are forming in the stratocumulus field downwind from the volcanic island of Rishiri-to in the northern Sea of Japan off the northwest coast of Hokkaido, Japan. These features form when a stable atmosphere with low clouds flows past a relatively small obstacle with a height greater than the depth of the cloud layer.
