DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0100Z June 06, 2006.
Alaska/Canada: The large fire in the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge in SW Alaska continues to produce a plume of very dense smoke moving eastward into Yukon-Koyukuk. This very dense smoke is surrounded by an area of thin to moderate smoke that extends farther into Yukon-Koyukuk and also into Bethel. Numerous fires across northern Saskatchewan continue producing plumes of moderately dense smoke moving toward the east northeast. An isolated fire in southeast Quebec on the north side of the mouth of the St Lawrence river is producing a moderately dense smoke plume that is drifting south and southeast. An isolated fire fairly near Smooth Rock Falls in Ontario is producing a small but moderately dense smoke plume that extends toward the northeast. Louisiana and Mississippi: Two fires in southern Louisiana, a fire in southern Mississippi, and leftover smoke from yesterday are contributing to the smoky hazy mix that is moving from these states southward over the Gulf of Mexico. Florida: A fire in north central Broward County is producing a moderately dense smoke plume that extends to the east reaching just beyond the coast over the Atlantic. Northern California and Nevada: A fire in Siskiyou County, CA, another in Lassen County Ca, and one near the border of Humboldt and Pershing Counties in Nevada are producing light to moderate smoke plumes that extend toward the northeast. Mexico: Numerous fires in western Ialisco are producing moderately dense smoke in that area.
