DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0130Z January 22, 2006

Southern California/ Baja:
A cluster of fires observed in south central Imperial County produced thin
smoke that drifted southward to northern Baja. A large blaze along the
West Coast in northern Baja caused a plume of dense smoke that extended
southward to San Quintin.

Brown

Unless otherwise indicated:

Areas of smoke are analyzed using GOES-EAST and GOES-WEST Visible satellite imagery.

Only a general description of areas of smoke or significant smoke plumes will be analyzed.

A quantitative assessment of the density/amount of particulate or the vertical distribution is not included.

Widespread cloudiness may prevent the detection of smoke even from significant fires.
