Summary
[edit]DescriptionAerosols over India (MODIS).jpg |
English: A heavy haze hung over India in early January 2023. On January 5, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of a gray shroud stretching from the southern face of the Himalaya Mountains southward to the central India and from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal.
The haze is the result of aerosols (fine particles) suspended in the atmosphere. Some aerosols in this gray shroud may be from natural sources, such as dust. Most, however, are likely due to human activity, including emissions from cars and industry, heating fuels, and agricultural fires. |
