INTEX: Smoky hazy south
Haze/smoke/dust(?) continued in the deep south and the Gulf of Mexico today as well as a stream of smoke in Canada, dipping just north of the Great Lakes.

Note how the stream of smoke seems to be related to the cloud formation in this MODIS image of Canada.
The haze in the south and near the Great Lakes was also visible as high AOD in the MODIS AOD images from the IDEA site.

The NOAA GASP AOD also showed the smoke and haze.
The EPA AirNow site revealed moderate concentrations of PM2.5 across the south. Note also that southern California has high values but the satellite image did not show any haze, so it is likely localized.
