5-minute CONUS Sector GOES-16 Visible images with an overlay of the Fire Mask derived product (above) showed the thermal signatures and smoke plumes associated with prescribed burns in the Florida Panhandle on 22 April 2024. Once the smoke plumes extended about 20-30 miles offshore, their signature began to become apparent in the GOES-16 Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) derived product (below) — AOD values exceeded 1.0 (darker red pixels) for the easternmost smoke plume.

GOES-16 True Color RGB images (below) provided a clearer view of the 2 dominant smoke plumes (along with a few other less-pronounced smoke plumes from smaller fires).
