THROUGH 0130Z January 2, 2007

Mexico:
A bunch of fires in northern Mexico near northeastern Gulf of California
are burning and producing moderately dense to dense plumes of smoke that
are moving southeastward.

Zhong

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.
