DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0133Z November 15, 2021
SMOKE:
Arizona...
A light to moderate smoke plume was emanating from a persistent fire
in the Mogollon Rim in east-central Arizona. The smoke was observed
extending a small distance toward the east.
South Central and Southeastern U.S....
Moderate agricultural burning activity could be seen across the South
Central and Southeastern U.S. resulting in numerous plumes of smoke that
are mainly light in density with some having moderate density smoke near
their sources. A larger area of light density smoke was observed over
southeastern Louisiana and southern Mississippi.
California, Pacific Ocean...
An area of light density remnant smoke possibly from recent wild fire
activity in Arizona and New Mexico was seen moving west across southern
California into the Pacific Ocean.
