THROUGH 0143Z February 13, 2007

California:
A bunch of fires south of Salton Sea in Imperial county of southern
California are producing thin to moderately plumes puffs of smoke pulmes
that are moving eastward.

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.
