Charis Fitzhugh Talman notes in Natur Magazine that winds lift millions of tons of dust annually, with dust from Asia’s deserts reaching Europe and the Mediterranean. German meteorologists estimated vast deposits in Europe and on the African coast, while Sahara dust creates hazes seen by ships near Cape Verde.
