Dust from Southwest Asia over Arabian Sea |
| Description |
On May 8, 2005, a veil of dust from the arid landscapes of southern Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan hung over the Arabian Sea. The S-shaped, olive green path of the Indus River in western Pakistan appears washed out beneath the dust. When this image was captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra [ http://terra.nasa.gov ] satellite, the wind was stirring dust from valley deserts and spreading it southward across the mountainous coastal terrain of Iran (which occupies most of the upper left of the scene) and Pakistan (which occupies most of the upper right).

Dust over the Arabian Sea |
| Description |
A number of jets of windblown desert dust (light brown plumes) were blowing over the Gulf of Oman (middle left) and the Arabian Sea (bottom center) on May 2, 2003. Originating from the Arabian Peninsula (left) as well as Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan (top center and top right, respectively), the dust obscures the surface over much of the region. This image was made using data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensors flying aboard NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites at hours apart on the same day. The high-resolution image provided above is 500 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response System provides this image at MODIS' maximum spatial resolution of 250 meters.

Dust Plume over Afghanistan
…
| Title |
Dust Plume over Afghanistan and Pakistan |
| Description |
On July 21, 2007, a dust plume several hundred kilometers across swept through Afghanistan and Pakistan, largely missing neighboring Iran. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ] flying on NASA's Terra [ http://terra.nasa.gov/ ] satellite took this picture the same day. In this image, the dust appears as a beige swirl over the arid landscape. A break in the plume allows a relatively clear view of the land surface along the border between southern Afghanistan and Pakistan. Otherwise, dust obscures much of the view, although the dust thins somewhat in the southeast. Although dust mostly misses Iran, at least some of the storm appears to originate along the Iran-Afghanistan border. Source points for the storm appear in an area known as the Hamoun wetlands, once an oasis for people and wildlife. By the start of the twenty-first century, a combination of expanded irrigation and severe drought had sucked the region dry, and winds that had once been cooled by wetland water began blowing dust. The pale color of this dust plume is consistent with that of dried wetland soils. For more information on the Hamoun wetlands, see the Earth Observatory feature story From Wetland to Wasteland.

A thin veil of white dust blurs the shorelines of Iran and Pakistan in this true-color Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ] (MODIS) image. The image, taken on November 23, 2003, by the Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov/ ] satellite, shows blowing dust from the deserts and dry lakes in Iran (left), Pakistan (right), and Afghanistan (upper right in the high resolution image). The most obvious plumes are over the Persian Gulf, left, and the Gulf of Oman, right. In addition to the dust over the water, the high resolution image shows dust storms in Northern Pakistan?s Hamun-i-Mashkel and Afghanistan?s Gowd-e-Zereh, both dry lake beds. The high-resolution image provided above is at MODIS?s maximum spatial resolution of 250 meters per pixel.

Dust Storm over Afghanistan
| Title |
Dust Storm over Afghanistan |
| Description |
On August 17, 2004, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), aboard NASA?s Terra satellite, observed a large plume of dust blowing out of the Sistan Basin and fanning out over a large portion of southern Afghanistan and northern Pakistan. Once a lush oasis spanning more than 2,000 square kilometers (800 square miles), the Hamoun Wetlands [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Study/hamoun/ ] were a major source of food and shelter for the people of Central Asia. Within the last decade, however, human mismanagement of the rivers feeding the once fertile wetlands has converted them mostly into salt flats?desiccated and almost devoid of life. The light sediment that once rested on the bottom of the Hamoun?s marshes now lies exposed to sun and wind. The frequent strong winds blowing through the region easily scoop up the dried silt and carry it aloft for hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. Such dust storms appear to be increasing in frequency and severity as residents in southern Afghanistan report that, during the last several years, the skies overhead have been the dustiest in living memory. The solid black line in this scene shows the border between the countries of Iran (to the left), Afghanistan (top), and Pakistan (bottom right). North in this image is toward the top. The high-resolution copy available here is 250 meters per pixel. There are also additional resolutions available.

Dust Storm over Afghanistan and Pakistan |
| Description |
Sandstorms that have been scouring southwestern Afghanistan since early June 2003 are being called the worst in living memory by residents of the area. The dust and sand have buried villages, filled waterways, destroyed crops and killed livestock. The storms are persisting longer than expected, creating a huge environmental problem for the residents of this region. Most of the windblown dust appears to be originating in the Sistan Basin, which is home to the Hamoun Wetlands straddling the border between Iran and Afghanistan. Persistent drought conditions there, coupled with increased irrigation off the Helmand River, have quickly turned these wetlands into arid salt pans. The high-resolution image provided above is 500 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response System provides this image at MODIS' maximum spatial resolution of 250 meters.

Dust Storm over Afghanistan and Pakistan |
| Description |
The brown and tan landscape of deserts and rugged mountains in southern Afghanistan (top), northwest Pakistan (below), and southeastern Iran (left) may seem devoid of human presence, even moon-like. But tens of thousands of people do live in this region, and they have been suffering through months of devastating sandstorms like the one pictured blowing across the center of this Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image from September 23, 2003. The image shows the green vegetation growing along the banks of the Helmand River, which flows toward the center of the scene from top right. The river brings life-giving water to portions of the Margo Desert (center). The high-resolution image provided above is 500 meters per pixel.

Dust Storm over Afghanistan and Pakistan |
| Description |
A white veil of dust had settled over the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea on October 8, 2004, when the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor aboard the OrbView-2 satellite captured this image. The dust is blowing out of the dried Hamoun Wetlands in the Sistan Basin straddling the Afghanistan/Iran border. Most of the dust is trapped in southwestern Afghanistan and northern Pakistan by the Central Makran Mountains, though some has escaped through river valleys and is blowing over the sea. The verdant green strip running down the right edge of the image is formed by the Indus River and the agricultural land it supports.

Dust Storm over Afghanistan and Pakistan |
| Description |
Prolonged and severe drought has taken its toll on the once vital HamounWetlands in southwestern Afghanistan and eastern Iran. Formerly a green oasis for over half a million birds, the wetlands are now a desert tan in this image, acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ]) on NASA's Terra [ http://terra.nasa.gov/ ] satellite. According to the United Nations Environment Program [ http://www.grid.unep.ch/activities/global_change/sistan.php ] (UNEP), the Helmand River, which feeds the wetlands, had been running up to 98 percent below its annual average during the past six years of drought. Decades of conflict and poor water management have also contributed to the withering of the wetlands. In 2003, the UNEP reported that 99 percent of the wetlands had dried up. The newly exposed silt is easily picked up on the wind, and dust storms frequently sweep through the Sistan Basin where the wetlands were located. On October 7, 2004, MODIS observed one such storm blanketing much of southern Afghanistan and part of Pakistan with a thick cloud of tan dust. To learn more, please read, "From Wetland to Wasteland."

Dust Storm over Southern Asia |
| Description |
A new and massive dust storm (light brown) erupted out of the Sistan Basin straddling the border between Iran and Afghanistan on April 29, 2004. The dust blew southward and spread out over a wide area, covering most of southern Afghanistan and western Pakistan. (The borders between those countries are traced here in black.) The dust can be seen here extending well out over the Arabian Sea (bottom). For more than five millennia, the Sistan Basin served as a cradle for life in what was once a 2,000-square-km (800-square-mile) wetland ecosystem known as the Hamoun Wetlands. Fed mainly by the springtime meltwater running off the mountains to the north and coursing through the Helmand River, the Hamoun Wetlands were replenished every year so that for thousands of years the region was an abundant source of fish, game, and fresh water for farming. But with unprecedented population growth in the region throughout the 20th century, coupled with a relatively sudden and dramatic increase in irrigation off of the Helmand River, the Hamoun Wetlands have almost completely dried up within the last 5 years. What was once a lush ecosystem teeming with life has been replaced by a mostly lifeless salt pan. (For more details, please read From Wetland to Wasteland. [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Study/hamoun/ ]) The light, silty lakefloor is now vulnerable to the intense heat and strong winds often experienced in this region that, in recent years, have been generating some very impressive dust storms that appear to be increasing in both frequency and severity. This true-color image was captured on April 29, 2004, by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA's Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov ] satellite. The high-resolution copy available here is 500 meters per pixel. Additional resolution [ http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/?2004120-0429/Pakistan.A2004120.0915 ] copies of this image are also available.

Dust Storm over Turkmenistan

Dust Storm over Turkmenistan |
| Description |
On January 29, 2007, a dust storm blew northward across Turkmenistan toward Uzbekistan. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ] on NASA's Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov ] satellite took this picture the same day. This image shows multiple sources for the dust in both Iran and Afghanistan. As sand covers much of Turkmenistan, however, dust could also have been picked up there, and just been hidden under the plume. Mixed with the dust plume are clouds, which fringe it on both the east and west. The clouds could be associated with the same weather system that kicked up the dust. Smoke probably also mixes with the dust plume in this picture, as MODIS detected a cluster of hotspots (outlined in red) in southern Turkmenistan, along with a few more along the Uzbekistan border. These hotspots show where the satellite detected anomalously warm surface temperatures, usually associated with fires. In the south, where skies are fairly clear of dust and clouds, patches of pale green appear along the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan border. Otherwise, vegetation is scarce in this arid region.

Floods in Afghanistan
| Title |
Floods in Afghanistan |
| Description |
Already bracing for severe floods after the most arduous winter in a decade, Afghanistan has been flooded by heavy rains. The saltpan plains—once the Sistan Wetlands—of western Afghanistan and eastern Iran are filling with water. In the two week period that passed between February 21, and March 7, 2005, this border region went from arid plain to water-soaked wetlands. According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), the floods have killed three people and destroyed about 300 houses in Afghanistan. Officials fear that flooding could intensify as temperatures rise and winter's snow [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/natural_hazards_v2.php3?img_id=12717 ] begins to melt. The Sistan Wetlands have been steadily drying out in the grip of an extended drought that started in 1998. (See "From Wetland to Wasteland" [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Study/hamoun/ ]) The former extent of the wetlands is visible in the lower image, taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ]) on NASA's Aqua satellite on February 21. Evaporating water left white salt flats, which are a lighter shade of tan in this image. The top image, taken by MODIS on the Terra satellite, shows that flood waters have filled the depressions left by the former wetlands. The images are shown in false color and combine both near infrared and visible light. In this color combination, the tan desert soil has a slightly pink tint, clouds are light blue, plant-covered regions are bright green, and clear water is black. Because dirt scatters light, it colors the water blue. Clearer, deeper water is a dark shade of blue, while shallow, mud-laden water is lighter blue. Beyond causing wide-spread floods, the rain has spurred plant growth, particularly in Iran, where the wetlands are considerably greener on March 7. NASA images courtesy the MODIS Rapid Response Team [ http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov ] at NASA GSFC. The images are available in additional resolutions [ http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/subsets/?Afghanistan/2005066 ]. |
