Description
English: On December 21, 2017 the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of a dust storm over the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The dull tan plume of dust blew from Turkey and Syria to the southwest towards the island of Cyprus. On that day, Cyprus Mail Online reported that at 2:00 p.m. local time the average hourly concentrations of respirable particulate matter with a diameter smaller than 10 mm (PM10) in the atmosphere increased to 671.7 micrograms per cubic meter in Paralimni, 424 μg/m3 in Larnica, 93.4 μg/m3 in Limassol and 103.5 μg/m3 in Nicosa, exceeding the safe limit of 50 μg/m3.
