DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 1625Z September 9, 2024

SMOKE:
Canada/United States/Pacific Ocean/Atlantic Ocean...
Continuing wildfires and seasonal burning has lead to the continued
mixture of light to medium density smoke from northwestern Canada, through
central Canada, and into the Midwestern United States. Additionally,
mixed density smoke continues to be seen throughout Oregon, Washington
State, and Idaho from the ongoing wildfires and seasonal burning in these
areas. The smoke from the U.S. wildfires was mostly traveling eastward
and southward throughout the central and eastern U.S., and into the
Atlantic Ocean. In Southern California, an area of light to moderate
density smoke, from the ongoing wildfires, was traveling westward into
western Southern California, and into the Pacific Ocean.

DUST:
A light amount of Saharan dust was seen traveling westward into the
Atlantic Ocean off of the African coast.

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
FIRE IN VARIOUS GRAPHIC FORMATS ON OUR WEB SITE:

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.
