Arabian Peninsula Buried Under Sand
Another dust storm sweeps over much of southern Iraq and part of Saudi Arabia in this image from January 25, 2010. The dust appears to be carried on wind blowing from the west ahead of a storm, heralded by the clouds on the left edge of the image. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this image. The red dots are most likely gas flares in oil refineries in the region. Plumes of black smoke from oil fires rise from some of the refineries. NASA image courtesy Jeff Schmaltz, MODIS RRT at NASA GSFC. Caption by Holli Riebeek. Edited by FEWW.

Another Dust Storm Sweeps North Central Australia
Another dust storm blew across Australia’s Northern Territory and Queensland on October 26, 2009, as the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite passed overhead. This true-color image shows the dust plume traveling eastward. In Northern Territory, the dust passes south of Newcastle Waters. In Queensland, the plume skirts a cluster of fires—roughly marked by red outlines—that send their smoke plumes northward. NASA image by Jeff Schmaltz, MODIS Rapid Response Team.
