Anomalous dark areas in sunglint patterns are occasionally seen in photographs taken by the Applications Technology Sattellte. These dark areas appear to be caused by relatively calm surface conditions against a background of higher sea states. Evidence of cold water temperatures suggest the presence of upwelling. These sightings may thus be of importance to the fishing industry.
