Description:
|
Blowing dust swirled over (top left to bottom) Egypt, Sudan, and Eritrea, and the Red Sea (center) on July 16, 2004. Summertime dust storms such as these have a significant cooling influence on regional temperatures there and to a lesser extent on temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MO DIS) on NASA?s Ter ra satellite captured this scene. NASA image courtesy Jacques Descloitres, MOD IS Rapid Response Team at GSFC
