The area shown covers parts of Congo, Rwanda and Uganda.Lake Kivu, in the lower left of the image, lies within the East African Rift, an elongated tectonic pull-apart depression in Earth's crust. The rift extends to the northeast as a smooth lava- and sediment-filled trough. Two volcanic complexes are seen in the rift. The one closer to the lake is the Nyiragongo volcano, which erupted in January 2002, sending lava toward the lake shore and through the city of Goma. East of the rift, even more volcanoes are seen. These are the Virunga volcano chain, which is the home of the endangered mountain gorillas. Note that the terrain surrounding the volcanoes is much smoother than the eroding mountains that cover most of this view, such that topography alone is a good indicator of the extent of the lava flows.Elevation data used in this image was acquired by the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour, launched on Feb. 11, 2000.

Aerosols come from both natural and human sources and include things like sea salt, dust, soot, and sulfates. Aerosols often contribute to air pollution and poor visibility. Once they are in the atmosphere, they can travel long distances, affecting air quality far from their source. Aerosols also absorb or reflect energy (light), influencing temperatures in the atmosphere and on the ground. Satellites measure aerosols by how much light can pass through them. A thick layer of aerosols will block the ground from view, while a thin layer allows enough light through to see the ground. The measurement is called aerosol optical thickness.The GEOS model is built on satellite data and provides a forecast of aerosol optical thickness (among other things). This animation shows a daily updated 10-day forecast of aerosol optical thickness from GEOS. The date and timestamp are in the lower left corner. In general, brighter colors are thick aerosols, while dull darker colors are thin aerosols. Blue represents sea salt (sea salt extinction aerosol optical thickness, 550 nm). Winds blowing across the ocean kicks up ocean spray, which includes sea salt. In the animation, pale blue to white colors reflect stormy conditions. Individual large storms like tropical cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons) are visible as swirling circles of thick sea salt. Red represents dust (dust extinction aerosol optical thickness, 550 nm). The Saharan Desert of northern Africa is the largest source of dust, but dust can be seen across the globe. Saharan dust often interacts with tropical cyclones.Green represents the sum of aerosol optical thickness for organic carbon, black carbon, and sulfate. Organic and black carbon come from burning biomass or fossil fuels. Sources include fires, power plants, vehicles, and other combustion engines that run on fossil fuel. Sulfate particles come mostly from burning fossil fuels, but also from volcanoes. || gmao_aerosols_print.jpg (1024x576) [201.6 KB] || gmao_aerosols_searchweb.png (320x180) [108.3 KB] || gmao_aerosols.00001_thm.png (80x40) [7.0 KB] || gmao_aerosols.mp4 (1920x962) [16.2 MB] || gmao_aerosols.webm (1920x962) [1.5 MB] || latest-wdates (2239x1123) [0 Item(s)] || latest-nodates (2239x1123) [0 Item(s)] || gmao_aerosols.mp4.hwshow [191 bytes] || ", "hits": 72 }, { "id": 40323, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/applied-science/", "result_type": "Gallery", "release_date": "2017-03-30T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Applied Science", "description": "Discovering innovative and practical uses of Earth observations\n\nappliedsciences.nasa.gov", "hits": 19 }, { "id": 12518, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12518/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2017-02-17T11:00:00-05:00", "title": "ATom Postcard - Kona, Hawaii", "description": "Atmospheric scientist Jack Dibb of the University of New Hampshire sent a video postcard from the Hawaii leg of the Atmospheric Tomography or ATom mission.

This image, taken on June 11, 2011, shows the path of the volcanic ash plume. Winds blowing from the west carried the plume downwind, across Argentina and eventually reaching the South Atlantic Ocean. Clear skies allow the snow-covered Andes Mountains to be seen just north and south of the erupting volcano. The opposite is true for areas downwind of the volcano beneath the highest concentrations of volcanic ash. It is hard for even the tiniest bit of sunlight to penetrate the thick plume as revealed by the dark shadow cast on the earth's surface directly south of the plume. The width of the plume increases with increasing distance from the volcano as particulates disperse in the atmosphere. The zigzag path of the plume over Argentina suggests shifts in wind direction. East of the Andes, heavier volcanic ash sediment has settled on the land below, blanketing large portions of Argentina. It appears that some of the settled ash has been picked up again, this time by surface winds that may eventually carry the sediment out to sea.

The cause must be the tectonic plate that built these mountains. Its name is Farallon. Farallon started off normally enough. It plunged beneath the North American Plate at a forty-five degree angle. This process sprouted volcanoes to form the Sierra Nevada in what is now California. Next, mantle motions pulled North America westward over Farallon, and the plate scraped along the bottom of the continent - for fifteen hundred kilometers. As North America continued its westward trek, Farallon settled to the bottom of the mantle.The image is output from a model run using the TERRA mantle software.
