Week 2: Identifying Weather Features (opens 10 May)
This second week of the course, we will learn to distinguish clouds in satellite images. The basic characteristics of clouds in the atmosphere are their height and their thickness. We will look how we can identify clouds by 1) their height: high, mid-level, and low clouds, and by 2) their thickness: thick or thin clouds. Further, we will learn to identify two important cloud systems - Convective clouds, Fog/Low clouds and Dust. For this, we will use the satellite products learned in week 1.
