Summary
[edit]DescriptionSahara dust over the Atlantic Ocean.jpg |
English: A vast cloud of Sahara dust, nicknamed “Godzilla cloud”, has covered the Atlantic Ocean. Beginning on the coasts of Mauritania, dust travelled to the Caribbean and parts of the United States, with concentration levels that had not been seen, or recorded, in half a century. This image, derived from the data acquired by the Tropomi instrument on board the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite on 23 June 2020, shows the dust cloud covering the Atlantic Ocean across a distance greater than 7000 km. With a revisit time of one day, the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite delivers free and open access data that can be used to monitor air quality worldwide, and this data can inform models that predict the impact of dust storms. |
