Wacky Weather: Dust From China Reaches California

Dust from China's Gobi Desert has drifted thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean to central California. The harsh dust storm that occurred in China on March 10th and created dangerously high pollution levels in Eastern China. You can see the dust storm from the NASA Satellite, note the sweeping light brown color, that is the dust. About ten days later the Air Pollution Control District reported some dust in the Owens Valley, which is just east of the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
