Dust Storm over Libya
| Title |
Dust Storm over Libya |
| Description |
A large plume of Saharan Desert dust was seen blowing northward across the Strait of Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea on October 1, 2003. In this true-color scene, acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA?s Terra satellite, the tan-colored plume appears to be stretching from the northeastern coast of Algeria to the northwestern coast of Libya in a wide arc around the northern coast of Tunisia.

Landslide Lake in Tibet Floods India |
| Description |
*Landslide Lake in Tibet Floods India* Water levels in the Pareechu River in Tibet continue to build behind a natural dam, created by a landslide in the early summer. On September 1, 2004, the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer, (ASTER [ http://asterweb.jpl.nasa.gov/ ]) on NASA?s Terra [ http://terra.nasa.gov/ ] satellite captured the top image of the new lake. The discolored rings around the basin provide a nice comparison point to see just how much the lake has grown since July 15, when the lower image was taken. The water appears to have filled the basin and is building upriver in the northwest. The new lake poses a threat to communities downstream in northern India, which will be flooded if the landslide-dam bursts. This false colour composite was created by combining near infrared, red, and green wavelengths (ASTER bands 3, 2, and 1 respectively). Both images show the lake at 15 meters per pixel. The large image acquired on October 1, 2003, shows the river before the lake formed.

Tropical Depression Larry
| Title |
Tropical Depression Larry |
| Description |
Tropical Storm Larry formed in the Bay of Campeche in the southern Gulf of Mexico on the evening of October 1, 2003. Larry remained a tropical storm with winds reaching up to 60 mph as estimated by the National Hurricane Center. Larry was nearly stationary at times, and slowly drifted southward before coming ashore near Coatzacoalcos, Mexico on the Gulf Coast side of southern Mexico on the morning of the 5th. The primary threat from Larry was flooding due to the storm's slow forward speed. The TRMM-based, near-real time Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (MPA) at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center shows rainfall totals associated with Larry for the period September 30 to October 7, 2003. Fortunately, the heaviest amounts, on the order of 20 inches (darkest reds), appear offshore. However, coastal areas received up to a foot of rain (red areas) with 4 to 10 inches (green to yellow areas) occurring inland between the coast and the highlands of the southern Sierra Madre. Tropical storm symbols mark the positions of Larry every 24 hours beginning at 7 pm CDT on October 1 as reported by the National Hurricane Center. Larry first drifted towards the southwest then jogged to the southeast before continuing to move southward. TRMM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japanese space agency NASDA.
