Title:
Aerosols from Earth Probe TOMS: Transatlantic Dust Event in July 2000 (with Dates)
Instrument:
Earth Probe/TOMS
Description:
An animation showing dust being blown westward over the Atlantic from northern Africa in July 2000, from aerosol measurements taken by Earth Probe TOMS
Duration: 2.0 seconds
Abstract:
Saharan dust storms raise dust that is carried in the upper atmosphere across the Atlantic Ocean. That dust can land as far west as the Carribean and the Americas. This dust can carry potentially hazardous bacteria and fungi.
