THROUGH 1700Z February 12, 2006
Arizona:
A fire in extreme northern Gila County (near the Coconino border)
continues to burn and is currently producing a fairly diffuse plume that
extends toward the southwest.
- 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.
