A large storm is blowing thick plumes of desert dust over the Arabian Sea. The dust is coming from the shores of Pakistan (right) and Iran (left). The pattern seen in this image is common. Winds often blow down from Makran Coast Range in Western Pakistan and Eastern Iran into the coastal valleys, and carry dust out over the Sea. This Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image was acquired by the Terra satellite on November 24, 2003.
