* green: black and organic carbon
* red/orange: dust
* white: sulfates
* blue: sea salt]] [File:MODAL2 M AER RA.ogv|thumb|400px|Movie map of distribution of aerosol particles, based on data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite.
* Green areas show aerosol plumes dominated by larger particles.
* Red areas show aerosol plumes dominated by small particles.
* Yellow areas show where large and small aerosol particles are mixing.
* Gray shows where the sensor did not collect data.]]
