DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 1700Z May 31, 2007

Georgia:
The ongoing large fires in southeastern Georgia are still producing a
large area of moderately dense to locally dense plumes of smoke that
are moving to the west northwest. The most dense portion of the smoke
has covered ¼ of Georgia in the southwest.

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.
