DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0135Z OCTOBER 15, 2007

Alberta and Ontario:
A fire in central Alberta of Canada is producing a thin plume of smoke
that is moving northward. Two fires in southwestern Ontario is producing
moderately dense plumes of smoke that are moving southeastward.

North Dakota:
A fire west of Devils Lake is producing a thin to moderately dense plume
of smoke that is moving westerly.

Oregon/Idaho:
A bunch of fires in central of Idaho Panhandle are producing thin plumes
of northerly smoke and influencing locally. Two fires in southern
Clearwater county of Idaho are producing locally dense plumes of
smoke that are moving northeastward to the Id-MT state boundary. Two
fires in Wollowa county of northeastern Oregon are producing thin to
moderately dense plumes of smoke that are moving mainly northerly into
either southeastern Washington or western Idaho. Several fires in Union,
Baker, Klamath, Harney, and Jefferson counties of Oregon are producing
thin to moderately dense plumes of smoke that are mainly moving to the
north and influencing locally.

Lower Mississippi Valley states(including Missouri, Arkansas,
Louisiana,and Mississippi):
Many fires along Mississippi river are producing thin plumes of smoke
that mainly moving to the north and influencing locally. A fire in
central of southern Cameron county of Louisiana along the coast is
producing a moderately dense to locally dense plume of smoke that is

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.
