Dust over Arabian Sea
This true-color scene shows a heavy dust storm blowing along Pakistan�s southern coast and out over the Arabian Sea on December 14, 2003. The scene was acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), flying aboard NASA�s Terra satellite. The MODIS sensor aboard NASA�s Aqua satellite also acquired this image over the same scene later that same day.
