Summary

Description
English: On January 28, 2018, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of massive clouds of light orange sand blowing across the Gobi Desert. The Gobi Desert stretches over parts of southern Mongolia and norther China and is one of the world’s most prolific dust-producing regions. The landscape varies from grassy plain, to seas of sand, to bare rock. Some of the areas that produce the most dust include sand seas and impermanent lakes which occur along the China-Mongolia border.
