The Strait of Messina is a narrow channel separating the island of Sicily from the Italian peninsula, connecting the Ionian Sea with the Tyrrhenian Sea. In the Strait, strong tidal currents occur, which interact with the shallow sill located in its center. The mean depth of the Strait is only 80 m, compared to depths of over 800 m to the south. Internal wave trains of solitary waves can be generated, and these show up as sea surface manifestations because they are associated with variable surface currents that modify the surface roughness. ASTER sees these as dark (smooth) and light (rough) patterns when the solar illumination is at the correct angle relative to the orientation of the satellite. The ASTER images were acquired August 11, 2003, cover an area of 58 x 90 km, and are centered near 37.9 degrees north latitude, 15.3 degrees east longitude.

His first box set, the four-disc Strait Out of the Box, was released in 1995 and within a year had become one of the five biggest-selling box sets in popular music history. He continued to record hit songs including "I Cross My Heart," "Carrying Your Love With Me," "Blue Clear Sky," "I Just Want To Dance With You," "Check Yes or No," "Write This Down," "She'll Leave You With A Smile," "The Best Day" and many more. 50 Number One Hits was released in 2004, compiling the rare achievement of his first 50 No. 1 songs (as well as his 51st, "I Hate Everything") on two CDs. The project was a strong seller, eventually certified as 6x multi-Platinum by the RIAA.
