So in this loop, I imagine the smoke is acting differently than the clouds purely based on how high it is. Marine layer is too low to get into land, some of the smoke is low enough to work its way into the valleys, some is higher & gets pushed northeast.
Ahhh ok. Is smoke pretty neutral (similar to “regular” air), such that it functions like a dye in water? I.e., so you can see currents/etc.? It seems like clouds often show where the currents are, but have their own dynamics going on

Ah I see what you're saying. Because we only see water when it's in liquid/solid form (clouds), it doesn't act as a dye like you refer to smoke. Topography, temperature, etc can change water phase from gas, solid, liquid - changing its visibility.

Yep that’s exactly what I was wondering about
