Description:
|
Dust blew off the coast of the United Arab Emirates on October 10, 2007. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite took this picture the same day. The beige dust plume is obvious as it blows westward off the coast and over the Persian Gulf. West of the dust plume is another plume of aerosols, particles of liquid or solid suspended in the atmosphere. The origin of this plume is not as obvious, and it could result from an earlier dust storm, or from smoke or haze. NASA image courtesy the MODIS Rapid Response Team at NASA GSFC. The Rapid Response Team provides daily images of this region.
