DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 2345Z November 05, 2005

Arizona/New Mexico
A fire along the McKinley/San Juan county border in northwest New
Mexico is producing a very narrow plume of moderately dense smoke that
extends eastward approximately 70 km from the source. Another fire in
east central Arizona near Show Low has produced a plume of moderately
dense smoke that extends about 50 km to the northeast.

California
A blaze in Monterey county near King City has a moderately dense smoke
plume that extends to the southwest and off the coast near Ragged Point. A
fire in northeast Tulare county in the Sequoia National Park has a plume
of thin smoke that extends eastward and reaches the Inyo county border. A
fire in San Joaquin county near Stockton has produced a series of small
thin plumes that are fanning out to the east and southeast.

Ruminski/Gallina

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.
