#highlatitudedust activity today in central Patagonia.

Note the clear dust plumes in the morning, activity continues through the day but much of the #dust plume is mixed with water clouds. This makes automatic detection very difficult since thick dust can be interpreted as a cloud.

a few hours later and into the night, #highlatitudedust activity continues in Patagonia.

Meanwhile , in the southern hemisphere, #highlatitudedust activity in Patagonia this morning.

More accounts of STEM professors discussing how fuckable they think their female students and mentees are in emails with Epstein. Comments on these women's looks come up in emails about their pursuit of professional and academic opportunities.

STEM is hostile to women on so many levels.

#dust can cost big money....

This example of a flight diversion reminded me of a study (see @eos.org article) where they looked at the the frequency of presence airborne dust around some major airports.

#highlatitudedust

🛰️🌍🌊🌬️

Major dust cloud travelling from NW Africa to northern South America. This is a good example of intercontinental (natural) pollution transport.
In addition to blocking sunlight, dust carries nutrients and pathogens and impacting ecosystems by deposition along the way.

thanks !

The intense #SaharanDust plume over the North Atlantic is predicted to reach western Europe in the coming days in the #CopernicusAtmosphere forecast. These episodes are not uncommon at this time of the year, particularly impacting air quality and visibility in Canary Islands and Madeira.

wow!

🛰️After yesterday's #highlatidudedust activity in central Patagonia, a dust cloud traveled about 700km NE. Not a great distance as far as pollution advection, but it is in a direction that you do not see it that often.

In addition there is dust activity in ElPaso/Ciudad Juarez area, no too obvious in images but it is sort of visible through the cirrus.

2 distinctive #highlatitudedust clouds in SW Atlantic today.

One from dry lake Colhue Huapi, dust can be seen very well from a webcam in Comodoro Rivadavia.

The second dust cloud (yellow ) is from earlier dust activity from mudflats along the shore of Deseado river (visible in earlier image)

The #dust we miss

Late afternoon with an almost totally cloudy Patagonia yesterday.

But in between clouds, there was significant #highlatitudedust activity.
However, there are no sensors there, no satellite information (mostly cloudy) ,so we do not know how long or how much this event was.

🛰️🌋activity today in the South Atlantic. Zadovoski (red) and Saunders (green) islands volcanoes, both active today . Minor activity . They are active because each created a #volcanotrack in the cloud deck above them.
