DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0115Z June 7, 2024

SMOKE:
Central Florida…
Agricultural fires in central Florida were observed producing light to
moderate density smoke plumes moving quickly to the northeast.

AEROSOL/SMOKE:
Mexico/Gulf of Mexico/Central America/Central and Southwestern United
States/Pacific Ocean...
Numerous smoke plumes related to agricultural burning were observed
across much of Mexico and adjacent Central America. This smoke combined
with a large amount of remnant smoke, as well as aerosols from a variety
of sources, to create a large mass of light to moderate density smoke
covering much of Mexico, northern Central America, south-central and
southwestern United States, the Gulf of Mexico, and adjacent coastal
waters of the Pacific Ocean.

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.
