DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0115Z February 8, 2007

Southern and southeastern U.S.(including Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia, Carolinas, and Florida):
Agricultural fires and wildfires are spreading all over this area. Some of
these fires are producing thin to moderately dense plumes of smoke that
are moving to the east except the smoke plumes in Texas and Louisiana
moving to the north or northeast. The moderately dense smoke plumes
concentrate on central Georgia, Florida Panhandle, and southern Texas.

Zhong

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.
