Image Caption: Von Karman vortexes
Induced by the island barrier, formation of vortexes requires windspeeds between 5 and 13 m/sec and a strong, low level temperature inversion. Three, well defined cyclonic vortexes (counter-clockwise rotation in this northern hemisphere view) occupy the center; the remnant of a small anticyclonic vortex lies immediatelty to the lower left of the top cyclonic vortex. (From Pitts et al. 1977)
