DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0215Z April 8, 2007

Florida:
A fire just west of Lake Okeechobee is producing moderately dense smoke
that is moving east across the lake.

Two fires along the south side of the panhandle were producing light

later in the day the smoke began to shift in a southeast to east direction
along Florida's gulf coast.

Banks

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.
