Asian Dust Reaches Alaska

Asian Dust Reaches Alaska

This SeaWiFS view of Alaska and the Bering Sea, collected on March 28, 2002, shows snow and ice cover on the surface (where cloud cover allows). Also visible are brownish patches near the center left and lower right of this scene that appears to be dust from Asia.
