Image Caption: Dust source-point on the Red Sea coast
Rivers winding from the desert down to the west coast of the Red Sea (Sudan) have deposited sediment in a delta-like "fan": In this view, strong southwesterly winds are picking up river sand from this fan and carrying it out to sea. The dust appears as close-packed tendrils, or vortices, of dust at the source, and turns into a broad dust pall downwind about 70 miles long in this view.
