Summary
[edit]DescriptionDust off West Africa (MODIS 2019-02-28).jpg |
English: A massive veil of dust blew over western African and the Cape Verde Islands in late February 2019. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image on February 25.
Africa is the world’s largest source of dust to the atmosphere, contributing about 70 percent of the global total. Airborne mineral dust from the world’s deserts delivers nutrients to the land and ocean, and affects the atmosphere and climate. |
