The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Terra satellite captured this true-color image of the dust storm on June 9.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: In early June, 2015 the winds from a rare tropical cyclone spinning in the Arabian Sea had far-reaching effects, kicking up dust across Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Terra satellite captured this true-color image of the dust storm on June 9. An intense streamer of light tan dust rises from the Iran-Afghanistan border and arcs over Afghanistan as it spreads out into a thin tan veil. A broader plume of dust rises from northwestern Pakistan and arcs across that country. The curving convective bands of the northern edge of Tropical Storm Ashobaa, which carried strong and gusting winds, can be seen in the southern section of the image.
