Learn about the identification of clouds such as Stratus, Cumulus and Cirrus from satellite images, and discover various methods to derive cloud height information. Microphysical properties of clouds like cloud phase and cloud particle size are also addressed.
Expected Learning Outcomes
At the end of this module students should be able to identify and locate the following:
- High and mid-level cumuliform and stratiform clouds.
- Low clouds like fog and stratus.
- Ship trails and contrails.
- How to assign cloud top height.
- How to identify and make use of cloud phase and cloud particle size information.
