Infrared and visible satellite images might provide: |
Answer» A way of determining cloud THICKNESS and altitude. Infrared satellite technology works by sensing the temperature of infrared radiation being emitted into space from the earth and its atmosphere. Basically, all objects (including water, land, and clouds), radiate infrared light. However, our eyes are not "tuned" to see this kind of light, so we don't notice it. WEATHER satellites not only sense this infrared light, but they can also sense the temperature of the infrared emissions. |
