Summary[edit]
DescriptionDust over Red Sea (MODIS 2018-07-26).jpg |
English: On July 23, 2018, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of a wide plume of dust moving across the Red Sea.
The dust is blowing eastward from Africa towards Saudi Arabia. The camel-colored plume is so thick in some areas that it obscures both the water and land from view. Dust storms are common in this area, especially in the summer months. |
