🐪 The animation below shows the new major dust transfer episode that hit parts of Europe last week.
This is the seventh(?) episode since December between Calimas and Med dust clouds.
📅 The CAMS aerosol optical depth (AOD) forecast data between 14 and 24 June 2024 show a very strong dust plume (AOD > 1) leaving the coasts of North Africa and covering big parts of central and eastern Europe. The event was followed with high air temperatures that exceeded 40 deg Celsius in southern Italy.
Daily dust aerosol optical depth from 1 January to 29 June 2024; the June episode is in the final days of the animation. Credits: CAMS
