A toggle between the GOES-16 Shortwave Infrared image at 2027 UTC and a background Google Maps image — as viewed using RealEarth<\/strong><\/a> (below)<\/strong><\/em> — further implicated Brooklyn Wildlife Area as the likely fire source region.<\/p>\n

GOES-16 True Color RGB images created using Geo2Grid<\/strong><\/a> (below) <\/strong><\/em>offered a clearer depiction of the smoke plume, as it eventually moved northeastward over the Madison metro area.<\/p>\n

As the smoke plume moved over the Space Science and Engineering Center<\/strong><\/a> at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, the aerosol layer was detected by a rooftop High Spectral Resolution Lidar<\/strong><\/a> — generally within the 2-4 km altitude range (below)<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

A few miles to the northeast, the ceilometer at Madison Dane County Regional Airport also detected the base of the smoke plume aloft (below)<\/strong><\/em>. <\/p>\n

Southwesterly surface wind gusts at Monroe (located about 20 miles southwest of the fire source region) were as high as 24 knots (28 mph) just before 19 UTC (below)<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n
