Satellite image showing both surface waves (near horizontal faint waves, left) and internal waves (long diagonal waves, right) on the Indian Ocean near Andaman Islands. White arrow shows propagation of internal wave packet in a south-westerly direction. Large internal waves have a wavelength of 5 km. Note the active Barren Island Volcano emitting steam on the lower left of the image. This Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on the Earth Observing 1 satellite acquired the image on March 6, 2007. NASA Earth Observatory image created by Jesse Allen and Robert Simmon, using EO-1 ALI data provided courtesy of the NASA EO-1 team. Caption by Holli Riebeek.
