DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0100Z DECEMBER 22, 2008
Florida: Numerous agricultural fires earlier the afternoon occurred around Lake Okeechobee, producing light to moderately dense smoke plumes. Most of these plumes were short lived as they moved to the north and northeast into Palm Beach County, directly over Lake Okeechobee, and into Martin County as well, before moving off the coastline and over the Atlantic Ocean. Also, these plumes extended out roughly 60-70km out from their sources. RCE
