Summary edit

Description
English: On 2 April 2021, the high pressure system that persisted over central and northern Europe made it possible for the Ocean and Land Colour Imager (OLCI) instrument onboard one of the two Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites to capture a rare, almost cloud-free, view of Ireland and western Great Britain. The image shows, in addition to the bright green vegetation, the southern part of Ireland affected by a Saharan sand cloud that reached the area after travelling more than 3000 km in less than five days. Launched in 2016 and 2018, the two Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites monitor our oceans, land, cryosphere, and atmosphere on a daily basis and enable us to better observe and understand large-scale global dynamics.
