 Identifying Cloud Types in Weather Satellite Imagery   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
When finished, you should be able to use visible and infrared imagery together to distinguish between low, medium, and high level clouds and between stratus, cumulus, and cirrus cloud types.
In some cases, low-lying stratus and fog will not be detected in infrared imagery as the temperature contrast between the cloud and surface are so low.
These are fair weather cumulus clouds, often seen in areas of the country experiencing fair weather.

 Hong Kong Observatory Radar Image
The image shows the rainfall rate at a height of 3 km above mean sea level, as observed by Hong Kong Observatory's weather radar.
Weather radar detects rain in the atmosphere by measuring the intensity of signals reflected from raindrops.
Weather radar may occasionally pick up reflected signals from sources other than rain, such as reflections from clouds, trees, buildings, birds, hills, sea waves and even distant land mass.

 The Three Types of Weather Satellite Imagery   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The most commonly used channels on weather satellites used are the visible, infrared, and water vapor satellites.
The darker regions in water vapor imagery are areas where very little water vapor exists in the middle and upper troposphere, and the lighter regions are very moist.
Water vapor imagery has become a very valuable tool for weather analysis and prediction in the last ten years because water vapor imagery shows moisture in the atmosphere, not just cloud patterns.

Since the emissivity of water droplets at 3.9 µm is less than that for longer wavelengths, it is often easier to identify fog and stratiform cloudiness in the channel 2 imagery, and to discriminate between water and ice clouds.
Channel 4 imagery has a wide variety of uses, including determination of cloud top heights, identification of cloud top features, tracking synoptic and mesoscale features at night, etc.
