Winds gusting to hurricane force raged over the sea for several hours
on October 27 and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on
NASA's Aqua satellite picked this out at 1:00 p.m. local time.

The sea had turned a foamy, white-flecked green off the shore of
Denmark. Westerly winds were driving waves into shore, creating a
fringe of white where waves crashed onto the beach. In the image,
glimmers of white glint in the murky waters offshore where waves break
over the shallow continental shelf.

The violent sea churned up clouds of sediment, giving the water the
brown and green color seen here. Clearer, deep water farther north is
nearly black, by contrast.

Nothing out of the ordinary for the North Sea. In that storm four
trawlermen died.

Here is another image from the same site about the Chinook or foehn
effect winds taking dust out to sea:

Glacial sediments can form dunes along Alaskan river valleys. Chinook
winds, push the glacial sediment toward the sea. These intense, warm
winds blow down mountain valleys, often taking the glacial silt with
them.

Because their primary movement is downward rather than lateral, these
downslope winds can change direction with the mountain valleys they
travel.
