Description: Every summer, the wind carries large amounts of desert dust particles from the hot and dry Sahara Desert in northern Africa across the Atlantic Ocean. Data from the Copernicus Sentinel satellites and ESA’s Aeolus satellite show the extent of this year’s summer dust plume, dubbed ‘Godzilla,’ on its journey across the Atlantic. In this image, captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission, dust particles can be seen over Cuba on 23 June 2020. Read full story: Satellites track unusual Saharan dust plume
