Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Gusty winds carried a wide river of dust over the Caspian Sea in late May 2024. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of the moving dust on May 27. The dust, which is so thick it obscures the water beneath it, likely was kicked up by strong winds ahead of a frontal system that was passing over the region. A point source for the dust isn’t obvious, but the best candidate is the Karakum Desert, which is located east of the southern Caspian Sea. The Karakum is a massive arid expanse that occupies nearly seventy percent of Turkmenistan.
