A dust plume stretching from the Sahara all the way across the Atlantic Ocean is seen in this image acquired by the GOES-16 environmental satellite on June 6, 2022.

NASA's DSCOVR spacecraft acquired this image of the Saharan dust plume stretching across the Atlantic Ocean on June 6, 2022. Scientists call it the Saharan Air Layer. The SAL is characterized by a mass of very dry, exceedingly dusty air that forms over the Sahara Desert during the late spring, summer and early fall and frequently sweeps out into the Atlantic.
