Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Strong winds blew dust hundreds of miles across parts of the Middle East in early December 2017. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this true-color image on December 7. Long plumes of rise east of the Euphrates River in Syria then arc across the arid landscape into Iraq. Additional broad clouds of dust in Iraq are so thick that they obscure the view of the land underneath. To the northeast a storm system over northeast Iraq and parts of Iran bring gusty winds to the region.
Date Taken on 7 December 2017
