Saharan dust is billowing out over western Africa and yellowing the skies over the Atlantic Ocean and the Cape Verde Islands (usually bottom left) in these true-color Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images from January-March 2003. In some images, fires have been detected in West Africa and are marked with red dots.
