      Strong winds were blowing streamers of dust from the Bodele Depression   
      almost every day in November 2022. The Moderate Resolution Imaging   
      Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a   
      true-color image of Chad on November 25 when thick bands of   
      light-colored dust were rising from the Depression and blowing towards   
      the southwest.   
      
      Winds frequently from northeast to southwest across parts of northern   
      Africa, especially during the Northern Hemisphere autumn and winter. In   
      Chad, such winds are concentrated as they blow through a gap between   
      two mountain ranges in the northern section of the country. This wind   
      then crosses the Bodele Depression, the site of a massive dried-up   
      ancient lake in Chad, where they pick up light-colored dust from the   
      bed of the nearly-extinct lake. In the lower right section of the image   
      (southeast) a bit of green marks the northern edge of Lake Chad, the   
      modern small remnant of the ancient lake.
