Title : Dust Storm Off Southern Coast of Iceland
Caption :
On May 11 and 12, 2002, the satellite observed a large plume of dust (brownish pixels) blown by stiff winds out from Iceland’s southern coast over the North Atlantic Ocean. This particular scene was acquired on May 12. In the large image (click on the image above), the low pressure cell that was driving the wind on that day is readily discernible to the southeast of the island.
