Rare 100-mile wave spotted off T&T

Feb 08, 2013

(Trinidad Guardian) A huge, rarely-seen 100-mile long internal wave has been spotted near the north coast of Trinidad. A photo released two days ago by the International Space Station (ISS) shows the presence of the natural phenomenon which has largely gone undetected in T&T.
An article from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Earth Observatory has defined “internal waves” as “the surface manifestation of slow waves that move tens of metres beneath the sea surface.”
The NASA release states the most prominent waves can be seen at the top left of the image, where a set of waves can be seen moving from the northwest owing to the tidal flow towards the north coast of Trinidad.
