AbstractThe analysis of the Karman vortex cloud street in the wake of Cheju Island Korea in geostationary meteorological satellite imageries together with meteorological data indicate following features. (1) The frequency of formation depends upon that of a cold-air outbreak. Frequency of a well developed one during a cold season of Dec., Jan., Feb. and March is in average 10. (2) Favorable meteorological conditions for the formation is a sharp air temperature inversion below the top of the highest mountain in the center of the island and a steady cold northerly wind. (3) Displacement speed of the vortices has an inverse relationship with the size of b/a where a is the distance of successive vortex pair and b is the distance between the vortices consisting a pair. (4) The time required to reach mature stage of a vortex pair is around three hours.
