Add to ORKGThis applet explores how the thickness of a cloud changes the way it looks from a satellite. The image is in the visible part of the spectrum, and the radiant energy is a function of not just temperature, as in the case of infrared images. The cloud thickness, its effective brightness, and the surface temperature can be modified while observing the satellite image. Educational levels: High school, Undergraduate lower division
