India-Haze

Caption: In this image, taken February 5, 2006, by NASA's Aqua satellite, a pale band of haze covers northern India, just south of the Himalaya. Haze also intrudes into the skies of southern Nepal and Bangladesh. A study by UC researchers suggests that reducing air pollution could increase rice harvests in India.
