Learning the Satellite Products (Lesson)

This week, your task is to read through the Chapter "Satellite Products". It will give you the introduction to using Visible, Infrared, and Water Vapour imagery. You will also read about four essential RGB products used every day in operational meteorology:  Natural Colour RGB, Dust RGB, Severe Convection RGB and Night Microphysics RGB.

The information for each channel or product is presented in two tabs: Description and Effective Use. After each set of tabs, you will find explorable, real-time product imagery with a set of questions to evaluate what you can see. Be sure to click each tab before proceeding to the next product.

Finally, you can test your skills and go through the eight weather questions in Satellite Product Comparisons and learn to use satellite imagery and products to analyse cloud heights and thicknesses. 

Good luck!
