DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0000Z November 21, 2007

Southeastern US:
Once again numerous fires were analyzed across the southeastern states
with nearly 2 dozen visible smoke plumes. Moderately dense to even
locally dense smoke plumes were moving to the north from fires burning in
Barbour County of southeastern Alabama, along the border of Conecuh and
Covington Counties of southern Alabama, and in western Okaloosa County
in the western Florida panhandle.

Arizona/New Mexico:
A handful of smoke producing fires were observed across Arizona and
New Mexico this afternoon. The most significant smoke producing fire
was located about 30 miles south of Albuquerque near the border of
Valencia and Torrance Counties of central New Mexico. This fire was
emitting a moderately dense to dense smoke plume which moved in an
easterly direction.

Hawaii:
More possible smoke in addition to the usual volcanic steam/fog was
visible spreading primarily in a westerly direction from the Kilauea
Volcano along the southern coast and offshore of the big Island of
Hawaii. The possible smoke plume was due to the ongoing and relatively
new lava flows buring vegetation.

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.
