Image 5 - These maps show NASA's TOMS (Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer) absorbing aerosol index on May 30, 2003. They show Saharan dust over Africa together with air mass back trajectories arriving at this site. The maps indicate and validate the hazy situation in the May 30th photo that resulted from dust transport.
