Sahara Dust & NASA Earth Observatory's Aerosol Optical Depth Monitor
Have you noticed that we can't see Nevis for the last few days? Perhaps it is due to Sahara dust?
"Tiny solid and liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere are called aerosols. Windblown dust, sea salts, volcanic ash, smoke from wildfires, and pollution from factories are all examples of aerosols. Depending upon their size, type, and location, aerosols can either cool the surface, or warm it. They can help clouds to form, or they can inhibit cloud formation. And if inhaled, some aerosols can be harmful to people’s health."
