Dust and Smoke over Iraq and the Middle East |
| Description |
On Tuesday, March 25, the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) captured this true-color scene of a very large dust storm blowing eastward over the Middle East region. The line of dust (tan pixels) can be seen in this image extending from Sudan, Africa, northeastward over the Red Sea across northern Saudi Arabia and into western Iraq. News reports indicate visibility on the ground is as low as 500 meters in some places hit by the storm.

A dust storm blew across the Red Sea on June 9, 2006. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ] flying onboard NASA's Terra [ http://terra.nasa.gov/ ] satellite took this picture the same day. In this image, a dust plume partially obscures the view of the Red Sea, between Egypt in the west, and Saudi Arabia in the east. Extreme summer heat increases the likelihood of dust storms, and the sand seas of the Middle East produce many of the planet's dust plumes.

A dust storm swept over the Red Sea on June 21, 2005. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ] flying onboard the Aqua [ http://www.aqua.nasa.gov/ ] satellite captured this image the same day. Dust obscured the satellite?s view of the Red Sea and the neighboring countries: Sudan, Eritrea, and Ethiopia on the west, and Saudi Arabia and Yemen on the East. Most of Earth?s dust storms arise in a few regions, including the Sahara and the Middle East. As desertification increases, dust storms are likely to follow. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment has just released its Desertification Synthesis [ http://www.millenniumassessment.org/en/index.aspx ]. The report predicts that the planet?s dry regions will spread as the land surface responds to increased human pressure from poor crop and soil management and irrigation misuse.

Dust Storm over the Red Sea |
| Description |
An enormous cloud of dust blanketed the Red Sea on July 26, 2005, when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ]) on NASA's Terra [ http://terra.nasa.gov/ ] satellite captured this image. It is hard to tell just where the dust is coming from here, the Red Sea is sandwiched between several deserts that are capable of producing spectacular dust storms. On the west side of the sea, the Nubian Desert of Sudan (center left) appears slightly blurred through a light haze of dust, hinting that the dust may have come from the west as such storms often do. On the top of the image, however, the dust appears to be blowing out of the east. Desert flanks the Red Sea on the east in the form of the Tihamat ash Sham, the pale strip of land barely visible along the eastern shore of the sea. The dust is thicker here, pooling in a distinct line at the foot of the Jabal al Hijaz (Hijaz Mountains). Beyond the mountains are the great sand deserts of Saudi Arabia. To the north of the dust storm, the air over the Red Sea is clear. Coral reefs around the islands create flashes of brilliant turquoise in the clear black of the sea.

Dust Storm over the Red Sea |
| Description |
On December 17, 2006, a plume of dust from Saudi Arabia crossed the Red Sea toward Sudan. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ] flying onboard NASA's Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov/ ] satellite took this picture the same day. In this image, the northern plume looks like a funnel cloud laid on its side—a thin band that spreads out in the west. Tiny white dots of clouds fringe the plume along its western edge. These clouds could have formed along the edge of an air mass that prevents the plume from pushing farther west. At the origin of the northern plume is a red dot indicating a hotspot—an unusually warm area detected by MODIS. Although the hotspot suggests the plume is smoky, its color so closely matches the ground it came from that it is probably dust, not smoke. A smaller plume, also likely comprised of dust, appears to the south. NASA image courtesy the MODIS Rapid Response Team [ http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov ] at NASA GSFC.

Dust Storm over the Red Sea
| Title |
Dust Storm over the Red Sea |
| Description |
In the summer months in the Northern Hemisphere, dust storms originating in the deserts around the Arabian Peninsula have a significant impact on the amount of solar radiation that reaches the surface. Winds sweep desert sands into the air and transport them eastward toward India and Asia with the seasonal monsoon. These airborne particles absorb and deflect incoming radiation and can produce a cooling effect as far away as North America. According to calculations performed by the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), the terrain surrounding the southern portions of the Red Sea is one of the areas most dramatically cooled by the presence of summertime dust storms. That region is shown experiencing a dust storm in this true-color image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) acquired on July 11, 2002. The GISS model simulations indicate that between June and August, the temperatures would be as much as 2 degrees Celsius warmer than they are if it weren't for the dust in the air?a cooling equivalent to the passage of a rain cloud overhead. The image shows the African countries of Sudan (top left), Ethiopia (bottom left), with Eritrea nestled between them along the western coast of the Red Sea. Toward the right side of the image are Saudi Arabia (top) and Yemen (bottom) on the Arabian Peninsula. Overlooking the Red Sea, a long escarpment runs along the western edge of the Arabian Peninsula, and in this image appears to be blocking the full eastward expansion of the dust storm.

Locust Swarms in Africa and
…
| Title |
Locust Swarms in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula |
| Description |
Alone, the desert locust is nothing to worry about. It is a solitary creature that stays out of sight munching on plants. But when enough locusts are packed into a small area, they form aggressive swarms that migrate from place to place, consuming all vegetation in their path. The transformation from solitary insect to plaguing swarm happens when conditions force the locusts into close confinement. Along the shores of the Red Sea, the locusts' winter breeding area, swarms develop when rain falls on the sandy soil to initiate the hatching of locust eggs. If conditions are right—plenty of water and vegetation for food—in the locust breeding areas, a large number of the insects hatch and form swarms. In March 2007, locust swarms were sighted in the coastal plains along the Red Sea coast in Sudan, Eritrea, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia, said Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations in its Desert Locust Bulletin. [ http://www.fao.org/ag/locusts/en/info/info/index.html ] The small swarms were breeding in the lush vegetation left by abundant winter rains. As the vegetation dries, the swarms are likely to move north and inland, warned the FAO. While locusts are not visible from space, the conditions that allow swarms to develop are easy to spot. This image, created from data collected by the SPOT satellite, shows vegetation conditions. Dark green areas indicate that vegetation was more thick and lush in March 2007 than the average March between 1999 and 2006. Brown areas show where vegetation was more sparse than average. Strips of dark green line the shores of the Red Sea in the same areas where locust swarms were spotted. The image also shows that plants are flourishing inland in Sudan, Eritrea, and Saudi Arabia, where the locusts could migrate. Because such satellite images map the conditions in which locust swarms develop, scientists use them as an early warning to identify areas that should be monitored for locust outbreaks.

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). |

Texas-sized Dust Storm Sweeps over Egypt |
| Description |
The massive Saharan dust storm, originating on Jan. 22, continued spreading north and eastward across Egypt on Jan. 23, 2004. In this true-color scene, the dust (tan pixels) can be seen blowing over the Sinai Peninsula and blanketing parts of Israel, Syria, western Iraq, and almost all of Jordan. To the south, the Red Sea is almost completely obscured as the dust also crosses over into Saudi Arabia. The bright white patches are clouds. This image was acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiomater (MODIS), flying aboard NASA's Terra satellite. Notice the vertical discontinuity running vertically down through the image just right of center. This shows where two images from consecutive satellite overpasses were stitched together to make one image. The high-resolution version available above is 500 meters per pixel, but the scene is also available at MODIS' fullest resolution of 250 meters.
