Abstract

A unique example of early morning and noontime very high resolution (0.62 km) visual satellite imagery is presented depicting a well-defined eddy over California coastal waters west of San Simeon. In addition to the low cloud vortex, the pictures vividly display the dissipation or movement of stratoform clouds. The synoptic situation during the occurrence of this eddy formation and cloud dissipation is also presented as a source of possible explanations of the cloud pattern.
