DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0200Z September 24, 2007

Kansas:
Several of the agricultural fires throughout Kansas are producing very
brief, light plumes of smoke that are moving to the north.

Oregon:
A fire in Klamath County flared up late in the evening and is producing
a moderately dense to dense plume of smoke that is moving to the south
southeast just reaching the northern borders of California and Nevada.

Alaska:
The large fire in northern Alaska continues to burn this evening and
produce large amounts of very dense smoke that is moving both to the
north and to the west.


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.
