MEDITERRANEAN DUST STORMNASA’s Terra satellite captured this dust storm, carried by southwesterly winds from the Sahara across the Mediterranean Sea in March 2014. The image is natural-colour and was acquired on 2 March 2014 using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the satellite. The dust storm grounded planes and heightened dust levels across the region. -TELhttp://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/view.php?id=83268&eocn=home&src=fbNASA image courtesy Jeff Schmaltz, LANCE/EOSDIS MODIS Rapid Response Team at NASA GSFC. -- source link
