NASA recorded the "milk whirlwinds" in the Caspian Sea off the coast of Turkmenistan
On January 9, the MODIS spectrometer with the Terra spacecraft captured a unique natural phenomenon in the photo in the Caspian Sea. White whirls formed on the shores of Turkmenistan, which the specialists of the American Aerospace Agency (NASA) called "milk whirlwinds."
As suggested by the Agency, the turbulence appeared as a result of the movement of deposits on the bottom of shallow water due to strong surface winds, resulting in white sand in some places being surfaced.
Also, scientists have found out that the sedimentary stub is very stable, and does not change direction.
You can see "milk whirlwinds" only from the Earth's orbit. When traveling by plane, the surface of the Caspian Sea will seem completely monophonic.
Satellite data is key to long-term monitoring of the Caspian Sea, measuring the sea turbidity levels, and collecting data on salinity, temperature, water levels, and oil pollution in certain areas.
