There was a photo of how desert dust "flows" into the Atlantic Ocean

The winds that carry this dust are called Berg winds. Berg winds descend from the mountains and plateaus inland

in winter. They may appear suddenly in the morning, and due to adiabatic heating they raise the temperature to 15 to 20 degrees Celsius (60 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit)

Berg's winds are hot and dry, and they collect small deposits and carry them across the ocean.

Namibia is located between two deserts,Kalahari and Namib. This high, dry Central Plateau generates winds that carry dust over the ocean. The central plateau covers a large strip of land that runs vertically throughout the country. The photo shows how the dust "flows" from the Namibian desert into the Atlantic Ocean.

Satellites captured many imagestransport of dust on the Earth's surface. Transport of dust from inland to oceanic areas can be an important source of nutrients for phytoplankton. Sometimes these winds deposit so many nutrients that they cause plankton blooms.

Earlier this month, ESA's Copernicus Sentinel and Aeolus satellites tracked a massive plume of dust all the way from the Sahara Desert to North America.
