Please blow away these low clouds in the north! Last couple of survey days for SCANS-IV - calm sea but low clouds in our way 🥹
spectacular meteorological phenomenon on our SCANS-IV survey ship😶🌫️🚢🐬🐳roll cloud (volutus)
🌊🚢🐬En la campaña @scans_4 #ABordoIEO además de cetáceos también pudimos observar este fenómeno meteorológico.
Creemos que pueden ser nubes rodillo, pero ¿qué opina @AEMET_Esp?
our SCANS-IV aerial survey team from Observatoire Pelagis was lucky to observe (and photograph) this amazing blue whale in the Bay of Biscay🐳🛩️ @UnivLaRochelle

Y misticetos o cetáceos con barbas (rorcual común). No son tan comunes en zonas costeras, pero sí en océano abierto.
