Default Sahara duststorms

For the past couple of days there has been a very extensive and thick
duststorm over a large part of the Sahara. On visible imagery the dust can
be seen spreading in a vast plume out over the Atlantic and southwards over
the Gulf of Guinea.
These images (infra red difference between spectral channels 4 and 5) from
today's noaa19 overpass show the extent of the dust (the white areas on the
images)
