How do colors in a satellite help forecasters determine how much rain is falling from the cloud bands?
In this case you would be referring to infrared satellite. You cannot directly determine rainfall rates from infrared imagery. But they can be useful to determine how how the clouds extend into the atmosphere, since higher cloud tops will show up as colder. Higher cloud tops indicate the possibility of intense rainfall associated with deep convection, which is usually an intense thunderstorm.
Do atmospheric gases scatter infrared radiation?
Yes, but the greatest effect is probably Absorption. When a cloud comes between you and the Sun, the Infrared is partially absorbed by the Water Vapor in the Cloud.
If you wanted to observe a molecular cloud in what wavelength of light would you most likely observe?
You would most likely observe a molecular cloud in the infrared wavelength of light. This is because molecular clouds are dense regions of gas and dust where new stars are forming, and infrared light can penetrate the dust and reveal the inner structure and temperature of the cloud.
What type of cloud is bright white and fluffy?
cirrus
How can a cloud be bright even when it is dark on the ground?
A bright cloud in a dark sky often occurs during sunrise or sunset when the angle of the sun casts light onto the cloud from below the horizon, creating a contrast between the cloud and the dark sky. This phenomenon can also happen when the cloud is filled with ice crystals that reflect sunlight, making it appear bright even in dark conditions on the ground.
What does the quote from Shakespeare thus sometimes hath the brightest day a cloud mean?
This means that even when you are having your best day (brightest day) there can always be something in your way or wrong (which would be the cloud) but one cloud on a bright day does not make it anyless bright.
What planets has large red spots and bright cloud bands?
Jupiter
What type of weather does a nimbostratus cloud indicate?
Rain storm
What does the dark shaded area on a infrared composite map represent?
The dark shaded area on an infrared composite map typically represents colder temperatures or lower thermal emissions, often associated with high-altitude cloud cover or regions of dense vegetation. In meteorology, these areas can indicate the presence of moisture or storms, as colder regions are linked to cloud formation and precipitation. The color gradient helps to visualize temperature variations across the mapped area, aiding in weather analysis and forecasting.
What is an infrared map?
An infrared map is a visual representation of infrared radiation emitted or reflected by objects on the Earth's surface. It can be used to identify differences in temperature, detect heat sources, monitor cloud cover, and track weather patterns. Infrared maps are commonly used in meteorology, remote sensing, and environmental monitoring.
What is the Value of Flying Cloud 1850 shadowbox picture?
yes
Which cloud is large with dark puffy clouds that indicate rain?
cumulonimbus
