A plume of Saharan dust lofted over the Atlantic Ocean on August 24.

The Sahara Desert is Earth’s largest source of airborne dust, which can travel for thousands of miles. Saharan Air Layer activity subsides after mid-August, according to NOAA, making it less likely that the plume shown here is bound for a transoceanic journey. Instead, it arcs to the north after blowing out over the ocean. Earlier in the summer, however, several clouds of fine dust from the Sahara reached the United States, creating hazy skies over Texas.

Scientists are interested in summertime Saharan dust events in part because of the influence they can have on large storm systems. Dry, stable, dust-laden air can inhibit tropical cyclone formation in the North Atlantic.

This image was captured by the VIIRS instrument on the NOAA-NASA Suomi NPP satellite. https://go.nasa.gov/3Ml7jQB
