S43-151-086 - Sand plumes along the Red Sea
A relatively small (40 by 70 miles) dust plume was captured
spreading over the Red Sea from the Sudan Coast near Port Sudan.
Farther up the sea in Egypt, and over Saudi Arabia, more diffuse
dust palls can be seen. Linhof camera, 90mm lens, 9 August 1991,
7:28 GMT.
This relatively small - 40 x 70 miles - dust storm, that reportedly lasted for at least three days, was photographed as it spread over the Red Sea from the Sudan coast near Port Sudan (21.0N, 38.0E). Several more diffuse dust palls may be seen in the distance farther north over both Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The general haziness of the overall scene is because of atmospheric dust throughout the local atmosphere. See STS043-75-054 for overhead view.
