A very sizeable dust cloud yesterday over KA and OK.

It seems to me it originated in WY and northwest CO.

Dear Friends:
an announcement 👇

#Uyuni lake in S. America, where #Lithium is mined.

Also, it is an important source of airborne dust as these satellite images from the last days demonstrate.

This is the time of the year when these events are seen.

Some of it makes it to Antarctica.

Interesting, the haze is actually high in the column and has higher than background values (see attached optical depths). So it is probably elevated and with little mixing with surface air along the coast.

Monday AM US Coast, #GOES shows haze that was not there yesterday. While it is visible, it does not mean it is a lot since the view angle makes it look brighter (see AODs).

Most likely it is smoke from central US fires as suggested by NASA's #GMAO model outputs.
