Cause of haze/smoke in US Gulf?
See this image, taken from the afternoon visible (full disk)
GOES shot of the americas. http://www.fractalfreak.com/astro/0918NA_SNIPPET.jpg It's been this way on and off since Katrina. Very bad haze and smoke from NO though east Florida, on out off the SE US and into the ocean as a diseased tendril of brown ****. It's about as bad as I've seen. I live in WI., and last week a stagnant air pattern brought this air up to our neck of the woods. Very bad, there were actually air quality warnings from all the particulates -- something I can never remember happening from years past. It was disgusting. Any ideas on the cause? Usually if it's a forest fire the source is easy to locate ... I can see none here. -Eric B PS - Also check out this snippet from same satellite shot. This time south america. The burning has been long and extreme this year. http://www.fractalfreak.com/astro/0918NSA_SNIPPET.jpg |

After checking high res MODIS imagery from the Gulf and checking the news it appears the people hardest hit by Katrina (Mobile thru Biloxi) are burning off a lot of the debris. At least that's my best guess. The pollution has whacked large parts of the US east of the Mississippi. (image from last week http://www.fractalfreak.com/wx/0915HAZE.jpg -Eric B |
