DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0315Z November 30, 2007
California: The fire near the Lick Observatory in Santa Clara County continues to burn producing a plume of light to moderate smoke with a small area of dense smoke. This plume extends into western Stanislaus County. A fire in southern El Dorado County is producing a narrow plume of light to moderate smoke that extends northward. A fire in Mariposa County is producing a narrow smoke plume that extends northeastward. Southeastern and Southcentral U.S.: Numerous agricultural burns are detected but only about 20 of them have smoke plumes large enough to see in GOES satellite imagery. These plumes consist of light to moderate smoke and extend mostly toward the south. Some of the more significant plumes are from fires in Escambia County, Alabama (that are producing plumes extending into extreme western Florida), a fire in Wayne County, Mississippi, and a fire in Refugio County, Texas.
