Thumbnail, link to the movie
Movie (5 MB AVI). A movie of the NASA—Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) Aerosol index during the first days of 2005. The ratio of the true UV (360nm) radiances to the expected from only molecular scattering is a measure for the dust loading. Therefore, it is possible to see the dust parcels leaving the Bodele depression (marked in a magenta rectangle) propagating Southwestward over Nigeria toward the Golf of Guinea crossing the Atlantic Ocean on the way to the Amazon.
