DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 2300Z November 15, 2005
Arizona: A fire near SR-64 near Tusayan in Coconino county is producing thin to moderate smoke extending WSW 52km. The plume is about 6-7 km wide. A fire near Overgaard in S Navajo county produced a small plume of thin some that has since become detached and is dissipating in near Roosevelt in Gila county. It extended 58km SW and was about 5km wide. Concentrated moderate smoke from a fire near SR-99 in far southeastern Coconino county (near Barts Crossing or West Chevelon Crossing) is in a 5km wide plume extending SW 67km to the Gila/Yavapai/Maricopa county intersection. Mexico (Chihuahua): Strong northerly winds created two distinct pockets of airbourne sand and dust from the desert between Corralitos and Lucero Mexico in N Chihauahua. The most dense area is about 20km by 20km and is located just West of Buenaventura in the San Miguel Arrayo. The other area has become too diffuse to be detectable as of 2300Z. Gallina
