Summary
editDescriptionSaharan Dust Storm in the Atlantic Ocean.jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 14 February 2023, shows a Saharan dust storm with transport from the west coast of Africa over to the Atlantic Ocean. The air quality in the Canary Islands (Spain) has been affected by the high concentration of particulate matter (dust) in the air. This has resulted in a yellow alert issued by the Spanish National Meteorological Agency (AEMET). The dust has also caused reduced visibility and disrupted air traffic. According to the forecast by the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service, the dust had reached Ireland by the night of 14 February and is expected to reach the Arctic Circle in the coming days. |
