DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY

SMOKE:
Northern Canada...
A large area of light to heavy density smoke attributed to the large
wildfires throughout Northwestern Canada continues to be seen covering
an area from northwest Canada through Quebec, the Labrador Sea and east
to western Greenland. A Large area  of moderate to thick density smoke
was observed through the southern Canadian provinces into eastern Ontario.

Central and Eastern United States/Atlantic Seaboard...
A large area of light density smoke attributed to a combination of smoke
from large wildfires in northwestern Canada and seasonal fire activity
covered a large portion of the Central and eastern United States. This
area of light density smoke was observed dispersing eastward off the
East Coast of the U.S. into the Atlantic Ocean.

Washington State...
The Lake Chelan-Sawtooth area wildfire was releasing light to moderate
density smoke that was observed moving southeast covering the eastern
potion of Washington State.

Southern California...
Light to moderate density smoke was observed emanating from the ongoing
Los Padres National Forest wildfire. The smoke was seen climbing North
along over the California Pacific coastline ending in northern California.

Utah...
A couple wildfires in south-central Utah was observed emitting at least
moderate density smoke that was moving southeast in direction remaining
in the respective state as evening approached.


AEROSOL/SMOKE:
Central-Southern Mexico/Gulf of Mexico/Yucatan Peninsula/Central
America/Cuba/ Pacific Ocean...
A large area of predominantly light density smoke attributed to recent
seasonal fire activity in Mexico, Yucatan Peninsula, and Central America
was observed today over southern and eastern Mexico, western Cuba the
Gulf of Mexico, Central America, and the Pacific Ocean off the southern
coastline of Mexico.

Saharan DUST:
A moderate amount of Saharan dust was observed over the Atlantic Ocean
and lighter dust can be seen in the eastern Caribbean Sea.

THIS TEXT PRODUCT IS PRIMARILY INTENDED TO DESCRIBE SIGNIFICANT AREAS OF
SMOKE ASSOCIATED WITH ACTIVE FIRES AND SMOKE WHICH HAS BECOME DETACHED
FROM THE FIRES AND DRIFTED SOME DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE SOURCE FIRE,
TYPICALLY OVER THE COURSE OF ONE OR MORE DAYS.  AREAS OF BLOWING DUST ARE
ALSO DESCRIBED.  USERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO VIEW A GRAPHIC DEPICTION OF THESE
AND OTHER PLUMES WHICH ARE LESS EXTENSIVE AND STILL ATTACHED TO THE SOURCE

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE SENT TO:

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.
