Dust and Haze Blow Across China

Description:
|
Dust blowing out of the Gobi desert mixed with haze casts a light yellow haze over eastern China, the Yellow Sea, and the Korean peninsula in this Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer ( MODIS) image, collected on March 28, 2005, by NASA’s Terra satellite. Such dust storms are common in the spring when winds blow out of the northwest, carrying dust from Asia over the Pacific Ocean. The Korean Meteorological Administration estimated that an average of 300 micrograms per cubic meter of dust blew over Korea on March 28, the Korea Herald reported. NASA image created by Jesse Allen, Earth Observatory, using data obtained from the Goddard Earth Sciences DAAC.
