Tropical Cyclone Carlos

Tropical Cyclone Carlos
Tropical Cyclone Carlos traveled along the northwestern coast of Australia in late February 2011. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this natural-color image around 2:25 p.m. local time on February 22, 2011. Following a path similar to that of Tropical Cyclone Diane, Carlos passes near the city of Learmonth, Western Australia, bearing an apostrophe shape characteristic of tropical cyclones.
The U.S. Navy’s Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) reported that, as of 5:00 a.m. Western Australia time on February 23, Carlos was located roughly 50 nautical miles (95 kilometers) northeast of Learmonth. The storm had maximum sustained winds of 60 knots (110 kilometers per hour) and gusts up to 75 knots (140 kilometers per hour). Carlos was forecast to intensify after moving west of Learmonth, but weaken in roughly 24 hours, thanks to increased vertical wind shear and cooler sea surface temperatures. Within about 96 hours, the storm was expected to become extra-tropical.

Dust Plume over the Mediterranean Sea

Dust Plume over the Mediterranean Sea
A dust plume stretched across the Mediterranean Sea on February 23, 2011, from just west of the Nile Delta to just east of Kriti (Crete). The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite took this picture the same day.
The dust plume extends hundreds of kilometers across the ocean, mingling with clouds in the north. Source points for this plume are not apparent in this image, and skies over Egypt are largely clear. This plume was likely whirled aloft by dust storms occurring over Egypt and Libya in the preceding days.
