Thick plumes of dust blew off the east coast of Sudan, over the Red Sea, in late June and early July 2006.
Another dust storm blew off the coast of Sudan on July 4, 2006. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) flying onboard NASA’s Aqua satellite took this picture the same day. In this image, a thick plume of tan dust blows off the coast, near the border with Eritrea, gradually fanning out as it moves over the Red Sea. Another plume blows off the coast of Sudan to the north.
