On June 14, 2003, the Mod erate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Ter ra satellite captured an image of a dust storm veiling the northern part of the Persian Gulf and surrounding countries: (clockwise from bottom left) Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, and Iran. The front of the dust cloud stops just short of the peninsular country of Qatar, at bottom center. The high-resolution image provided above is 500 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response System provides this image at MODIS’ maximum spatial resolution of 250 meters. Image courtesy Jeff Schmaltz, MOD IS Rapid Response Team, NASA GSFC
