DescriptionA new Saharan dust storm over the Atlantic Ocean (Copernicus).jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 30 January, shows a new Saharan dust storm, the third in less than two weeks, with transport from the west coast of Africa over to the Atlantic Ocean. Air quality in the Canary Islands (Spain), as well as in Madeira (Portugal), has been heavily affected by significant concentrations of particulate matter (dust) in the air. Consequently, the Spanish National Meteorological Agency, AEMET, has issued a yellow alert and health authorities have advised people not to stay outdoors for extended periods of time. |
