Desert Dust Streams from Iran - NASA Earth Observatory
Jan 24, 2025 · Clouds of dust darkened the sky as winds swept across southeastern Iran in January 2025. Some of the desert dust was carried across the Gulf of Oman to the Arabian Peninsula, degrading air quality for those in its path.
discovered intermittent collimated streams of dust particles. The streams occurred at approximately monthly intervals (28 ± 3 days) and the maximum impact rates exceeded, by three orders of magnitude, the rates typically measured in interplanetary space (Griin et al. 1993, Baguhl et al. 1993); Figure 10.1.
Dust streams over Mar Chiquita in central Argentina
Aug 8, 2022 · “On July 10, 2022, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this natural-color image of dust streaming from Mar Chiquita.” According to experts, dwindling water levels in the lake …
Dust Streams from the Namibian Coast - NASA Earth Observatory
On July 17, 2020, the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 acquired this natural-color image of dust streaming out from the Namib Desert over the South Atlantic Ocean. The dust stretches from Dorob National Park past the port town Walvis Bay.
Dust streams over the Gulf of Alaska - Earth.com
Jan 6, 2021 · Today’s Image of the Day from NASA Earth Observatory shows dust clouds streaming over the Gulf of Alaska in the fall of 2020. According to NASA, the dust originated upstream in the Copper River Valley, where glaciers crush rocks into a very fine silt that is referred to as “glacial flour.”
These parti cles arrived at Ulysses in collimated streams radiating from close to the line-of-sight direction to Jupiter, suggesting a jovian origin for the periodic bursts.
Dust Streams from Southwestern Africa - NASA Earth Observatory
Oct 22, 2018 · Skies turned temporarily red in Alexander Bay, South Africa, as a thick plume of dust blew through the town on October 21, 2018. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this natural-color image that morning as northeasterly winds swept through the region.
Jovian Dust: Streams, Clouds and Rings - ResearchGate

Title: Jovian dust streams: Probes of the Io plasma torus - arXiv.org
Nov 4, 2002 · While Ulysses and Cassini only had a single encounter with Jupiter, Galileo has continuously monitored the dust streams in the Jovian magnetosphere since 1996. The observed dust fluxes exhibit large orbit-to-orbit variability due to both systematic and stochastic changes.
