This is how the central Mediterranean area appeared to SeaWiFS on the first day of autumn. Mount Etna is sending an ash plume downwind while smoke from a fire in central Greece bespeaks a different wind direction. Dust continues to blow northward from Africa. The waters of the northern Italian coasts look fairly bright -- probably in part due to increased flow in rivers like the Po and Arno after severe weather two days ago.
