Title:
Haze Over the Yellow Sea
Description:
The air over most of eastern China was filled with a thick, gray pall of aerosol pollution on January 29, 2004. The haze, easily distinguished from the much brighter, white clouds in this scene, is so thick in places that it almost completely obscures the view of the surface. The aerosol can be seen blowing eastward over the Yellow Sea toward the Korean Peninsula.

The coastal waters of the Yellow Sea range from turquoise to light brown due to the heavy load of sediment washing off the land.
