killer. fuel tv has been doing that camera ploy for some time now. they even have a little exclusive, not to different from this one - that they air on the regular.
we're actually planning a surf trip up the coast soon. so stoked.
Scientists recently discovered a huge spinning vortex in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Western Australia near Perth. The circling current is sweeping fish larvae and coastal plants out to sea, says Anya Waite, the biological oceanographer from the University of Western Australia who led the team. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite detected the vortex on June 5, 2006, by the high concentrations of chlorophyll from coastal plankton (tiny plants) in the water. In the top image, the high chlorophyll concentrations are yellow against an aquamarine background of lower concentrations. The vortex creates a yellow loop around a blue and yellow oval center where chlorophyll concentrations are lower. The vortex measured about 200 kilometers across and 1,000 meters deep, reported the team that discovered it. The circular current was spinning at 5 kilometers per hour (3 miles per hour).
