Summary
[edit]DescriptionNew Saharan dust pulse towards the Iberian Peninsula (Copernicus).jpg |
English: This image was acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 23 January 2022 and shows a Saharan dust plume over the Iberian Peninsula. The dust storm blows from the coast of Morocco and extends into the Atlantic Ocean to cover the sky over Lisbon in Portugal. This episode follows, by less than a week, another sandstorm that travelled as far as Iceland and the Scandinavian peninsula. Dust storms can affect the quality of the air we breathe. The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) monitors and predicts air quality on a global scale by assessing the concentration and modelling the transport and dispersion of air pollutants. |
