Observation Context: Satellite observations by Terra/Aqua MODIS reveal 1,950m Mount Hallasan on Jeju Island acting as a bluff body obstacle against cold northerly winter monsoons. The resulting flow separation triggers an alternating cyclonic (counter-clockwise) and anticyclonic (clockwise) vortex street stretching over 400 km southward into the East China Sea, running parallel to sediment discharge plumes from the Yangtze River estuary.
