Lesson 9: Background: Fog and StratusDifferences in the radiative properties of clouds exist between the shorter wavelenght IR window (e.g. between 3.5 and 3.8 micron) and the longwaver IR window (e.g. between 11 and 12 micron). In addition, solar reflection can be signifcant in the 3.9 micron channel.
Notice in the GOES visible and 3.9 images below, the reflection from the clouds and the sun glint region in both the visible and 3.9 images. Return to Satellite Meteorology Main Page
