Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Thick plumes of pale beige dust blew across eastern Chad on February 24, 2022. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of the Saharan storm on that same day. The dust appears to rise from the Bodele Depression and travels towards the southwest, towards pale green Lake Chad. Although large, Lake Chad is shallow, and it is not the lowest point in Chad. The Bodele Depression, located northeast of Lake Chad sits at a lower elevation. It is part of a former lakebed or inland sea and is one of the world’s most active sources of windblown dust.
