ISS002-706-83 Mediterranean: Coppery sunglint color reflected off sea surfaces in the Gibraltar region probably indicates air pollution from Western Europe. Southern Spain appears right and northern Africa left. Oblique looking West. No date/time information on film.

ISS002-732-49 Mediterranean: Western Mediterranean smog and smoke event on August 8, 2001. Panorama looking west with dense Po River valley smog transported southwest into the western Mediterranean basin and probable smog masses entering the basin down the Rhone valley. Prominent smoke plume stretches south from southern France to Corsica.

ISS002-754-G Mediterranean: Panorama of Adriatic Sea and northern Italy looking northwest, with smog in the Po River valley and smoke from fires in the Dinaric Alps. No date/time information on film.

ISS002-710-43 Mediterranean: Panorama with northern Italy and the Alps. Oblique looking northwest on June 27, 2001 reveals Po River valley smog.

ISS002-731-28 Mediterranean: Eastern Mediterranean smog event on August 6, 2001. Oblique looking north across Turkey, the southern coast of which is obscured by aerosol.

ISS002-713-55 South African Aerosols: Namib Desert dust event. Local dust sources are active in southern Namibia in the middle ground and give rise to individual dust plumes (not detected by TOMS satellite). Generalized haze over central and northern Namibia appears across the top of the view (denser loadings appear on TOMS satellite maps for this date).

ISS002-728D-184 South African Aerosols: Southern Namib Desert dust source points and plumes on 010724. Near-vertical view. The relatively small areas within deserts that actively supply dust to the atmosphere are of specific interest in modeling the dust budget of the planet (in terms of location, surface geology, etc.) Panoramic, oblique view of this event is probably ISS002-713-55. No date/time information on film.

ISS002-714-19 South African Aerosols: Rare view of aerosols moving southeast into the Indian Ocean over the coast of KwaZulu-Natal ("southeast exit").
