This image shows the Bo Hai, a bay off the Yellow Sea in China. It was acquired on March 5, 2007 by the MODIS on the Terra satellite. The Bo Hai shows a tremendous amount of sediment, which colors it nearly brown.
The rivers of northeast China, particularly the Yellow River, all spill sediment into the Bo Hai. The Yellow River in particular carries dust from the Gobi Desert of Inner Mongolia down through the North China Plain, before pouring into the Bo Hai.
