DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0030Z February 19, 2006

OREGON:
A fire in northern Douglas County is producing a wide plume of moderate
smoke.  The plume extends westward and the smoke reaches at least 35
nautical miles offshore.

FLORIDA:
A Marion County fire is producing a narrow plume of moderate to thick
smoke.  The plume extends toward the northeast almost reaching the coast.


 


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.
