DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0130Z November 07, 2007

Arizona:
The fire in southern Coconino county of Arizona is producing a dense to
locally very dense plume of smoke that si moving northeasterly across
AZ-NM state boundary into western New Mexico at central Apache county
of Arizona. A fire in western Coconino county is producing a northerly
thin plume of smoke that is moving across the Coconino-Mohave county
boundary into eastern Mohave county.

California:
The fire in northern Toulumne county of central California is producing
a moderately dense to locally dense plume of smoke that is moving
northeasterly into southwestern Alpine county. A fire in central Mono
county is producing a moderately dense plume of smoke that is moving
northeasterly to the CA-NV state boundary. Several thin and tiny plumes
of smoke are observed in Modoc, Trinity, and Colusa counties of northern
California.

Oregon:
A lot of fires in Douglas, Harney, Coos, Curry, Klamath, Lincoln,
and Wheeler counties of Oregon are producing thin to moderately dense
plumes of smoke that are moving either northeasterly or southeasterly
and influcing locally.

Dakotas:
A fire in Pennington county of western South Dakota is producing a
moderately dense plume of smoke that is moving eastward then southward
and influcing locally. Many fires along the eastern Dakotas' boundary
are producing thin to moderately dense plumes of tiny smoke that are
influcing locally.

Louisiana/Mississippi/Alabama/Georgia/Florida:
Many fires in these states are producing thin to moderately dense plumes

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.
