The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of the blowing dust storm on January 18.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Gusting winds carried dust from the Sahara Desert and over the Mediterranean Sea in mid-January 2024. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of the blowing dust storm on January 18. The source of the dust isn’t obvious in this image, but additional images show the dust rising from the southeast, from widespread desert in Algeria. The thickest dust was passing over Tunisia and blowing to the northeast over the Mediterranean Sea to reach Malta. Thin plumes nearly reach Sicily, Italy, which is the largest island in the Mediterranean.
