Dust and Smoke over the Mediterranean |
| Description |
On October 17, 2006, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ] on NASA's Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov/ ] satellite captured dust and smoke blowing northward over the Mediterranean Sea. The dust came from a dust storm along the border between Libya and Egypt. The smoke came from fires in the Nile Delta, hundreds of kilometers to the east. In this image, multiple plumes of dust blow off the coastlines of Libya and Egypt. The thickest plume originates just east of the border between the two countries, and two smaller plumes off Egypt merge over the Mediterranean. Overhead, rows of small, bright white clouds cast their shadows onto the dust. Just south of the coast, a sand sea crosses the border between Libya and Egypt, and this sand sea may have been the source of at least some of the dust. The Nile Delta stands out from the arid landscape of the Sahara, but the same vegetation that gives the delta its lush green appearance can also catch fire. This image shows a series of red dots called hotspots, where MODIS has detected surface temperatures much hotter than their surroundings. Faint wisps of smoke from the fires blow northward toward the Mediterranean, dissipating not far beyond the shore.

Dust over Greece

Dust over Greece |
| Description |
Powerful winds pulled a thick band of desert dust from Egypt and Libya over the Mediterranean Sea on April 17, 2005. The dust is so thick that Crete is completely obscured from view, and the ground of Greece is barely visible. African dust frequently blows over the Mediterranean in the spring, carrying tons of dust into Greece. This particular storm shrouded the country in a yellow haze that cancelled or delayed flights and halted sea transport, according to local news reports. The winds that produced this dust storm blew at an average of 75-89 kilometers per hour (47-55 mph) near the sea?s surface, and stronger winds prevailed higher in the atmosphere. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ]) on NASA?s Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov/ ] satellite captured this photo-like image of the storm.

Dust Plume off the Coast of Egypt |
| Description |
Dwarfing the Nile, a river of dust flowed out of the deserts of northern Egypt on May 19, 2007. As the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ] on NASA's Terra [ http://terra.nasa.gov ] satellite passed overhead at 12:05 p.m. local time in Cairo, the sensor captured this image of the dust spreading northward over the Mediterranean Sea from the sandy deserts that span the country. At the margins of the plume, ribbons and ripples of dust are translucent, allowing a glimpse of the desert and water beneath, but in the center, the cloud is opaque, revealing nothing of the surface below. The part of north-central Egypt hidden by the dust plume is the Qattara Depression, the country's lowest point. Dipping down to 133 meters below sea level (436 feet), the depression is home to sandy deserts and dry lake beds that occasionally flood. The sand and fine, lake bed sediments are easily lofted into the air by strong winds that scour the area in late winter and early spring. In the eastern (right-hand) part of the image, the Nile River is lined by narrow ribbons of dull green vegetation. The fan-shaped delta is dotted with tan-colored spots, marking the location of cities and towns. The Nile Valley and Delta make up only a small fraction of the country's total land area, yet they support almost the entire population. The large image provided above has a spatial resolution (level of detail) of 250 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response Team provides this image in additional resolutions. [ http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/?2007139-0519/Egypt.A2007139.0905 ] The Earth Observatory also provides a 250-meter-resolution KMZ file [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/Archive/May2007/Egypt.A2007139.0905.250m.kmz ] of this image for use with Google Earth.

Dust Plume off the Coast of Northern Africa |
| Description |
Dust blew off the African coast and over the Mediterranean Sea on June 9, 2007. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ] on NASA's Terra [ http://terra.nasa.gov ] satellite captured this image the same day. In this image, the opaque tan dust plume billows off the coast, along the Libya-Egypt border, in a shape vaguely resembling a giant inverted teardrop. Directly north of the dust plume lies the island of Kriti (Crete). North of that, much smaller islands dot the Aegean Sea. Pale streamers sweep southward from these islands, from a cause that appears unrelated to the dust plume. The streamers may be "wind shadows" on the ocean surface highlighted by sunglint that results from the Sun's light bouncing off the water's surface and into the satellite sensor. You can download a 250-meter-resolution KMZ file [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/Archive/Jun2007/nafrica_tmo_2007160.kmz ] of the dust storm for use with Google Earth.

Dust Storm in Northern Africa |
| Description |
Dust still lingered over northern Africa on February 24, 2006, a day after a massive dust storm swept over Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ] flying onboard the Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov/ ] satellite captured this image on February 24. In this image, a cloud of dust several hundred kilometers across extends from Libya and Egypt over the Mediterranean Sea. Faint tendrils of dust reach as far to the east as Israel. Although the dust hides many land features in northern Africa, the lush, green Nile Delta still stands out from its surroundings.

Dust Storm in Northern Africa |
| Description |
Dust remained in the air another day, two days after a major dust storm struck northern Africa on February 23, 2006. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ] flying onboard the Terra [ http://terra.nasa.gov/ ] satellite captured this image on February 25. By the time this image was acquired, the dust had moved toward the northeast over the Mediterranean Sea. In this image, a pale beige cloud of dust several hundred kilometers across extends northward from Egypt over the sea. The dust cloud also completely obscures the view of the Nile Delta, in contrast to the dust cloud the day before. The thick cloud of dust lies close to the ground. On the island of Cyprus, the Troödos Mountains, including the 1,951-meter-high (6,400-foot-high) summit of Mount Olympos, rise above the dust cloud.

A dust storm swept off the coast of Egypt and over the Mediterranean Sea on January 23, 2006. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ] flying onboard the Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov/ ] satellite took this picture the same day. This image shows a thin veil of dust moving in a counterclockwise direction and mixing with clouds over the sea. Although North Africa is the likely suspect, the exact source of dust can't be clearly discerned from this image. Even under a haze of aerosols, however, the lush Nile Delta clearly stands out from its arid surroundings as a green triangle.

Dust Storm off Egypt |
| Description |
A dust storm swept over Egypt on February 8, 2006, moving in a counterclockwise direction from the Sahara Desert toward the Mediterranean Sea. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ] flying onboard the Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov/ ] satellite took this picture the same day. In this image, the dust appears as a pale beige swirl over the landscape, blurring many of the features on the ground. To the north of the dust are dense clouds hanging over the Mediterranean. This storm produced a dust cloud much thicker than the one observed on January 23, 2006 [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/natural_hazards_v2.php3?img_id=13320 ]. Unlike that dust storm, this one completely obscured the view of the Nile Delta, which usually stands out from its surroundings as a lush green triangle. According to news reports, a huge cargo ship blocked the Suez Canal on Wednesday after drifting into a bad position during the storm.

Dust Storm over Libya and Egypt |
| Description |
A thin sheet of dust blew northeastward from deserts in northern Africa and out across the Mediterranean Sea (upper right) on March 1, 2005. The orange-colored sands of eastern Algeria are thickly veiled with light-colored dust, which thins as it spreads more widely over Tunisia and Libya. The dust weaves both under and over clouds in different places over the Mediterranean. At the far right edge, the clouds appear bright white, and appear to be casting a shadow on the dust plume below them. At top center, dust appears to be above the clouds, giving them a dirty appearance. This image was made from data collected by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA?s Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov ] satellite.

Dust storms out of Egypt |
| Description |
The deep blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea were shrouded in dust from North African deserts on January 29, 2005. A dusty haze stretches across the center and top parts of the scene from the Gulf of Sirte (left center edge), past the Nile Delta (right of center), all the way to Turkey (top right). The Red Sea (lower right corner) appears to be dust free. Between the knob of land in Libya just east of the Gulf of Sirte and the green fan of the Nile Delta lies a large desert called the Great Sand Sea. Dust storms are a serious natural hazard in the region, particularly for aircraft. This image was captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite.

Severe Storm over the Red Sea |
| Description |
An Egyptian ferry carrying more than 1,300 people sank on February 2, 2006, in the northern Red Sea as strong storms swept across the region. While the exact cause of the disaster was not certain, the most likely reason was bad weather and high seas. At the time of the incident, a potent storm was advancing eastward over Egpyt and the western Mediterranean Sea. Out ahead of this advancing storm, strong southerly winds drew warm moist air up from the south. These conditions favour the development of severe storms. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite observed the storm at 04:20 UTC on February 3, 2006 (6:20 a.m. in Egypt), just a few hours after radar contact with the ferry was lost. The image shows the horizontal distribution of rain rates (top-down view) observed by the TRMM satellite. The image reveals that an intense thunderstorm complex had just come ashore on the Saudi Arabia coastline, after having crossed the northern Red Sea. The storm complex contained a sizeable area of heavy rain, with rates of 50 millimeters per hour (dark red areas). While not a direct measure of storm intensity, the heavy rain and the shape and orientation of the storm complex indicate that the storm was severe. In this image, rain rates in the center swath are from the TRMM Precipitation Radar, while rain rates in the outer swath are from the TRMM Microwave Imager. The rain rates are overlaid on infrared data from the TRMM Visible Infrared Scanner. The TRMM satellite was launched into service in November of 1997. Designed to measure rainfall over the global tropics, TRMM is armed with both passive and active sensors, including the first and only precipitation radar in space. TRMM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japanese space agency, JAXA. NASA images produced by Hal Pierce (SSAI/NASA GSFC) and caption by Steve Lang (SSAI/NASA GSFC). |

Smoke from Fires in Greece

Smoke from Fires in Greece |
| Description |
Besides laying waste to huge areas of forest, fires [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/natural_hazards_v2.php3?img_id=14474 ] burning in Greece in August 2007 released pollutants that traveled across the Mediterranean Sea and into Africa. This image shows aerosols—tiny solid or liquid particles suspended in air—observed by the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on NASA's Aura satellite layered on the photo-like Blue Marble [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Newsroom/BlueMarble/ ] composite image. Relatively clear air is transparent. Highest aerosol concentrations are pink. On August 26, 2007, aerosols from the fires on the southwestern coast of Greece took a fairly direct route across the Mediterranean Sea to the western part of the Libyan coast. A large pool of smoke collected over the Gulf of Sirte, off the Libyan coast. Another pocket of thick aerosols appears over Algeria. These particles are probably smoke emitted from fires burning in Algeria [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/natural_hazards_v2.php3?img_id=14478 ] over a long stretch of the coastal Atlas Mountains. Farther south over the deserts of northern Africa, the light green areas of moderate aerosol amounts could be smoke or dust. On August 27, 2007, aerosols still crossed the Mediterranean Sea, but they took a more circular route. They spread southward in a clockwise direction from Greece, across the island of Crete, and concentrated thickly over eastern Libya. The other large pocket of aerosols—the pink patch hovering over the border of Libya and Algeria—may include smoke from Algeria and Greece. As on the previous day, some aerosols collected over Egypt and eastern Libya. OMI detects the amount of light of different wavelengths that the atmosphere scatters back to space, the amount of backscattered sunlight is affected by what is in the atmosphere. To make an aerosol index with OMI data, scientists compare the amount of ultraviolet (UV) light the atmosphere scatters back at given place and time to the amount of UV light that the atmosphere would scatter back if it were totally clear. You can download a KMZ file KMZ file of the smoke from Greece suitable for use with Google Earth [ http://earth.google.com/ ] for both August 26 [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/Archive/Aug2007/greece_omi_2007238.kmz ] and August 27.
