This image shows von Kármán vortices triggered by the presence of Socorro Island. These spiral patterns are created when the fluid flow is interrupted by an object, in this case an island. This image was captured by NASA's Aqua satellite using MODIS on May 22, 2013.
This image also shows von Kármán vortices triggered by the presence of Socorro Island. These MISR nadir-camera images were captured on April 23, 2000 and May 9, 2000.
This map displays the water depth of the ocean surrounding Socorro Island.
A land cover map shows the composition of the land of a specific region. In the case of Socorro Island, the land consists of grasslands, open shrub land, mixed forests, cropland, deciduous needleleaf forest, and evergreen broadleaf forest.
