Florida, Texas, Atlantic Ocean, Mexico, Gulf of Mexico, Eastern Pacific
Ocean...
A large region of light to moderate density smoke was observed over most
of Coastal Eastern and southern Mexico extending out across the Gulf of
Mexico, through most of Florida, into the Atlantic Ocean. Light density
smoke was also observed over parts of Central and Southern Mexico and the
Eastern Pacific Ocean. The plumes appears to consist of smoke from heavy
seasonal burning in the region, gas flaring activity, as well as urban
pollution/aerosols. Agricultural burning activity was observed throughout
Mexico causing a large number of light to moderate density smoke plumes.
