. Collected reprints / Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratories [and] Pacific Oceanographic Laboratories. Oceanography Figure Portion of vertical photograph from Skylab showing mesoscale eddies (arrows) associated with the Gulf Loop Current. Relation- ship of these eddies to the current is given in figure Film was high- resolution aerial color type SO-356 which is responsive in the 400- to 700-nm interval. Photograph is available from EROS Data Center, reference number SL3-22-124. Positive print. Figure shows a portion of a photograph taken vertically from Skylab at an altitide of 434 km at 1735 on 4 August 1973. Solar azimuth at this time was 175° and the zenith angle was 10 °. The sun's glitter pattern, or sunglint, permits the observation of the eddies which are located by arrows in the figure. In figure , the centers of the three eddies in figure are located by dots. Four other eddies of the same size range, approximately 12 to 32 km in diameter, were photographed several seconds later northeast of the Yucatan Peninsula; their centers are located by dots near 24°N, 80 W. The bright feature dominating the lower left of figure is part of a large cloud region, the height of which may be estimated from its shadow to be 12,000 m. Lower clouds, however, are difficult to separate from ocean surface sunglint. Tbe photographs were spaced so that 18% of the area appears in the adjacent photograph. This provides the parallax for a stereographic analysis 407.
