China Dust Storm seen by Terra/MODIS and Earth Probe/TOMS in April of 2001
A thick shroud of dust appears over China on April 6-7, 2001. The densest portion of the aerosol pollution travels east over China, Russia, Japan, the Pacific Ocean, Canada, and The United States.

This animation starts with the Terra-MODIS image of April 7, 2001, and then zooms out to a regional view of China. This second view shows the widespread aerosol pollution that starts in China and spreads across the Pacific Ocean and into the United States.    This animation starts with the Terra-MODIS image of April 7, 2001, and then zooms out to a regional view of China.
