Summary: Timelapse showing dust from Africa and wildfire smoke plumes over the Atlantic Ocean, tracked by Aerosol UV Signature from Aug 6-9, 2025.
The video presents a satellite view of the Earth, specifically the Atlantic Ocean, showing the 'Aerosol UV Signature' from August 6 to August 9, 2025. A color scale indicates aerosol concentration from 'Less' (purple/blue) to 'More' (yellow/green). Initially, a dense plume of dust is visible originating from Africa and moving westward. As the days progress, a separate plume identified as 'Wildfire Smoke' appears over the western Atlantic/North America, also moving and dispersing. The video illustrates the dynamic movement of both natural and anthropogenic aerosols across the ocean.
Playback guide
1. timestamp: 0:00 label: Displays the Aerosol UV Signature over the Atlantic Ocean on August 6, 2025, showing a large, intense dust plume originating from Africa. 2. timestamp: 0:01 label: The 'Dust' label appears, indicating the origin and type of the main aerosol plume. 3. timestamp: 0:02 label: The date changes to August 7, 2025. The dust plume continues its westward movement. A new label, 'Wildfire Smoke,' appears pointing to a smaller aerosol plume over the western Atlantic. 4. timestamp: 0:04 label: The date advances to August 8, 2025. Both the dust and wildfire smoke plumes have moved further across the Atlantic and show signs of dispersion. 5. timestamp: 0:07 label: The date updates to August 9, 2025. Both aerosol plumes are more spread out and less concentrated as they continue to traverse the ocean.
