DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 1545Z JANUARY 11, 2009

South Florida:
A few agricultural fires most likely from the sugarcane fields in far
western Palm Beach county south of Lake Okeechobee produced small puffs of
moderate white smoke that moved NE some over the far southern portion of
the lake. A small fire just SSW of FL880 and US441 intersection produced
very similar conditions described above.

Gallina

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.
