Summary[edit]

Description
English: Several plumes of camel-colored dust blew across the Red Sea on December 4, 2017. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of the event on that same day. The Red Sea is bordered by some of the world’s most prolific dust-producing regions on both its eastern and western sides. Depending on wind direction, dust can blow from either Africa (west) or the Arabian Peninsula. On December 4 the prevailing winds blew the dust westward, from Saudi Arabia towards Sudan and Egypt.
Date Taken on 4 December 2017
