Zoom into aftermath of Typhoon Pabuk in Japan (SeaWiFS 23 Aug 2001)

SeaWiFS observed the aftermath of Typhoon Pabuk near Japan. Notice the long plumes of green water issuing from the islands of Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. These are aftereffects of the heavy rains and high winds of Typhoon Pabuk. In a presumably unrelated event, a long plume of ash or steam can be seen drifting northeastward from the summit of Mt. Oyama on the island of Miyake-jima to the south of Tokyo.
