[Thread] Un nuage de poussière de #Sable #sabledusahara EXCEPTIONNEL nous traverse pendant 48h. Il masque le sol sur les images satellites ! De mémoire, je n'ai jamais vu un nuage aussi large et dense sur la 🇫🇷.

Un épisode similaire avait eu lieu le 6 février 2021 avait une magnitude moindre.

[Thread] Le ciel est jaune sur la France #cieljaune, ce qui affole la twittosphère. Il s'agit d'une nuage de poussière de sable en provenance du #Sahara #SaharanDust .
Est-ce normal ? Comment est-il arrivé jusque sur l'Europe ?

[Comment ?] Une dépression (lignes blanches) se situe sur l'Espagne : le vent (flèche noire) est de sud à l'avant de celle-ci de l'Afrique jusqu'à la France. Il se charge de particules de sable et fait remonter de la douceur (couleur orangée) jusqu'à la France.
[Pourquoi ?] Ce sont des particules bien + petites que la sable de plage, propulsées dans la haute atmosphère grâce à des vents verticaux. (même phénomène pour les feux de forêts). Reprises par les vents d'altitude, elles parcours ainsi des milliers de kilomètres en altitude.
Meanwhile in #France,
"the peak of this second wave is over"
(according to the President in his Adress to the Nation):

Wait... "the peak is over" doesn´t mean "it´s back to normal"!
Confinement will only fall on December 15,
if there´s less than 5.000 new cases a day.
(today it´s ~9.000).
France is disappointed.🙁
Although they certainly can make it happen.

Meanwhile in #Switzerland:
(excess mortality of the second wave is significant)
Good news: fastest decrease in infections happens in the worst hit areas now.

As #COVID19 cases are found to spread, #Melbourne (city of ~5 million) tries to contain them by going into #Lockdown.

"People acting as if the pandemic was over was 'not the answer, it is part of the problem' ".
"The virus had leaked from postcodes already under the stay-at-home orders to other parts of #Melbourne."
(and beyond, it is feared).

Due to #Melbourne's outbreak, neighbouring South Australia is about to completely close it's borders to #Victoria.

1/5 Interesting #dust blob off Florida coast. Where will the #SaharanDust that crossed the US go next? Will it make it to Europe? On 27 June #dust extends from Cuba to North Carolina, still up to nearly 5km altitude.
2/5 28 June, #SaharanDust spreads westwards over Atlantic, upper boundary still 4-5km on leading edge

High dust AOD & surface PM10 in #Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service forecast for 12UTC on 22 June atmosphere.copernicus.eu/charts/cams/, + initial evaluation vs Aeronet at Ragged Point🇧🇧, Guadeloupe🇫🇷, Cape San Juan & La Parguera🇵🇷as #SaharanDust plume crosses Caribbean & Gulf of Mexico
Initial evaluation of aerosol profiles vs CALIPSO along orbit track crossing the plume on 21 June also shows good general agreement with plume altitude & distribution. VIIRS visible satellite imagery from go.nasa.gov/2B78EJx
The Saharan dust Storms comes from the Sahel strip. Not from the Sahara desert itself #SaharanDust #polvodelSahara #duststorm
The Sahel strip is south of the Sahara. These are lands that are being desertified (turning into desert) for different reasons. Climate change, civil wars, migrations, exploitation of resources, deforestation and burning of slash to enable areas for livestock.
Where at this time of year arrives and the wind begins to lift all that particulate, takes it to the atmosphere and reaches in several days (5 to 6 days) to the Caribbean areas.
Vorpommern-Greifswald district (where rejections of #Gütersloh residents took place, yesterday)
has specific rules:
"Those who return from international risk areas (out of Germany) or whose Corona-Warning App has alerted them, need to report to authorites"

In fact, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's Corona-ordinance really prohibits entry of people from international risk areas AND german risk areas as well.
