Aerosols over Korean Peninsula

Suspended aerosols colored the air between China and the Korean
Peninsula on April 8, 2020 when the Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a
true-color image of the region.
The haze, likely a combination of agricultural fires and industrial and
urban pollution, appears to blow from mainland China to reach South
Korea and beyond. Skies remain mostly clear over North Korea. In some
areas, the haze is so thick that it is difficult to see the water and
land beneath.
