      A sweeping dust storm carried dust from the Sahara Desert over the   
      Mediterranean Sea and the Iberian Peninsula in early October 2022. The   
      Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s   
      Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of the thick plume of dust   
      on October 3.   
      
      The dust appears to have originated from Erg Chech, an inhospitable and   
      arid sand sea located in southwestern Algeria near the border with   
      Mali. Satellite imagery shows a plume of tan dust rising from that   
      location on October 1 and curling over Portugal and Spain by October 3.   
      By October 4 the dust was beginning to thin, especially over Portugal.   
      Local media reports that sandy skies, with the potential of mud-tinted   
      rain, is expected to continue through October 6.
