Description
English: On June 2, 2020, the Himawari-8 satellite watched a swirling low pressure storm system kick up dust and sand (shown above as bright pink) from the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, blowing the fine airborne particles into China. This particular image loop shows the storm and the resulting dust cloud via Dust RGB. This type of imagery product was originally developed by EUMETSAT for the MeteoSat Second Generation (MSG) SEVIRI imager and was later applied to the Japan Meteorological Agency’s Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) on the Himawari-8 satellite. Now, the Advanced Baseline Imagers (ABI) on the GOES satellites also have the same capabilities.
