Amazing imagery of dust being deposited into the ocean helping to create phytoplankton bloom conditions! "... much of the dust that can be seen streaming southward in the above Landsat 8 image will fall into the Arabian Sea where it will contribute to the fertilization of the phytoplankton communities that color the water there. If you click on the above image you will see that the dust pictured there is only a very small part of the total mass headed for the Indian Ocean on December 10, 2015." via NASA http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/cms/
