Dust continued to fill the skies over easternAsia yesterday. The full-resolution versionof this Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) image also shows that thevolcano, Mount Oyama, on the island of Miyake-jima due south of Tokyo, is also adding its own aerosols to the mix. The grayish plume can be seen drifting first eastward and then southeastward from the small island.
A large patch of sea ice is visible in theupper right corner of the image to the northof Hokkaido.
