SMOKE:
Light density remnant smoke was seen over the southern half of the Mississippi River this morning that was moving towards the southeast region of the U.S. but the full extent was not visible due to cloud coverage in the area. AEROSOL/SMOKE: Central and Southern Mexico/Pacific Ocean/Gulf of America/Bay of Campeche... 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 morning along the southwestern coast of Mexico near northern Central America. It was then seen extending further west into the Pacific Ocean before expanding east into the southwestern portion of the Gulf of America near the Bay of Campeche.
