DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 1615Z May 10, 2008

Southern Plains and Southwest:
An area of light haze of unknown composition and origin extended from
southern Kansas across northwestern Oklahoma and the panhandle of Texas
into southern New Mexico.

A light smoke plume extended 35 km east southeast of the Solano fire in
Pima County, Arizona.

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.
