Summary
[edit]DescriptionDust from Iran and Pakistan (MODIS).jpg |
English: Streamers of dust blew over the Arabian Sea on November 22, 2022, when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of the region.
The western tan-colored plume is the broadest and rises from Iran while the narrower stream of dust comes from Pakistan. Greenish tints in water just off the coast are also likely caused by sediment, such as sand and dust. Point sources for the dust isn’t obvious, but winds often blow down from the Makran Coast Range in Western Pakistan and Eastern Iran into the dry coastal valleys, and carry dust southward over the Arabian Sea. |
