DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 1700Z December 05, 2007

GOES-12 (East) satellite imagery was not available from 04/1645z
and  through the present time. Later today GOES-10 will be filling in
for GOES-12.  Due to this outage overall fire and smoke detection was
hindered and obscured.

No significant areas of smoke can be seen in morning satellite imagery.

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.
