DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0200Z January 24, 2025

SMOKE:
Baja California...
Two large wildfires were visible in northern Baja California, one
being located southwest of Tijuana and the other located just southwest
of Ensenada. Both wildfires were observed producing large amounts of
moderate to thick density smoke that extended westward into the Pacific
Ocean. In addition, a large area of light density smoke, likely from
a combination of the two large wildfires and wildfires in California,
was observed engulfing the coasts of California and Baja California
while extending well into the Pacific Ocean.

Arizona...
Light density smoke was observed emanating from the ongoing Horton
wildfire (Central Arizona). The smoke was observed drifting southwest
and into northwestern Mexico.

AEROSOL/SMOKE:
Southern Mexico/Pacific Ocean...
An area of predominantly light density smoke and aerosols attributed to
scattered agricultural burning, volcanic emissions and industrial sources
throughout Central and Southern Mexico was observed this evening along
Mexico’s Southern Pacific coasts, extending west into the Pacific Ocean.
