Research on atmospheric aerosols w/satellites, models & impacts such as atmos-ocean exchange processes (SOLAS!). Atmos. polarization radiative transfer, #physics overall. Sharing and commenting on papers and sat images of (my) interest #highlatitudedust
At the agency known for putting people on the Moon, nobody that I know is going.

it seems like it put a bit too much towards the west (ie central Argentina) compare to the east side (River Plate), this is what satellite suggest.
Interestingly this is the 2nd event this year where I see from satellite dust from Patagonia arriving to this area (in fact the first reached Brazil).

in the same sites do show the same evolution and timing. I would to look in more detail everything is quite consistent. There is some cirrus arriving that complicates the detection , some of is removed in Level 1.5 (not shown here).
AOD magnitudes are typical for pollution traveling ~1000km.

As forecasted dust from Patagonia arrived to the major metropolis, Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Nice capture by GOES where the dust layer (a bit in contrast but visible).
Arrival times (from satellite) are
La Plata ~ 14:30
Buenos Aires ~ 14:50-15:30
Montevideo 15:30-16:00
The Aeronet stations ..

Latest MODIS sensor (Terra 🛰️) over Patagonia provides more detail on this ongoing event.
Most of the sources are active in the middle sector.
Farther south there are more active source (not as many ) but are obstructed by clouds.
